Passion for India seeks to share the vibrant, contrasting culture that is India with the rest of the world by offering exceptional fabrics, and exotic home and personal accessories—perhaps igniting your passion for India as well.

History

Owner Margaret Manning’s many treks to the far corners of the Indian continent shaped her desire to share these treasures with a global audience. Exquisite products, handcrafted in the traditions of the maharajas merge with contemporary style to produce shimmering silks, glittering embroidery, and dazzling beadwork to adorn yourself and your home. Today’s sensuous home resonates with the spirit of India.

Not satisfied to parlay the third-rate products of some bazaar-hopping spree, Passion for India has invested significant time cultivating relationships with skilled buyers and craftspeople all over Northern India. These relationships developed into a group of artisans, supplying an original collection of specialty textile products, custom-tailored for a global market.

Committed to our Artisans

Passion for India is committed to making infrastructure investments on behalf of our artisans to assure the smooth flow of commerce communications. By supplying Indian buyers with computers and the means to utilize them, we are assisting these professionals to improve their ability to communicate with the rest of the world. They can convey design ideas to the artisans, who often work without electricity or access to information on new design trends, enabling them to create desirable products while reenergizing their craft for global markets.

Not only does this benefit the artisans and their communities, it gives Passion for India a direct communication link with these craftspeople, eliminating the traditionally slow and erratic process of vendor communication, strengthening the relationships, and assuring a smooth flow of vibrant, unique products for our customers.
