When shopping for copper, brass, or kansa products, you may notice that Indian Crafts Co’s offerings are priced higher than many alternatives in the market. At first glance, this may seem puzzling—after all, a quick search online reveals copper bottles, glasses, and handicrafts available at a fraction of the price. So, what makes Indian Crafts Co products different, and why are they worth the investment? Here’s a transparent look at the factors that set our handcrafted treasures apart.
-
Pure, Premium Materials—No Compromises
Many mass-market products use mixed metals or lower-grade copper to cut costs, which can compromise both quality and health benefits. Indian Crafts Co insists on using only the purest copper, brass, and kansa, sourced from trusted suppliers. This not only ensures the longevity and safety of each item but also delivers the authentic wellness advantages celebrated in Ayurveda and modern science.
-
True Handcraftsmanship, Not Mass Production
Most cheaper alternatives are either machine-made or only superficially “hand-finished.” At Indian Crafts Co, every product is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Moradabad, using techniques passed down through generations. This process is time-intensive and requires a high level of expertise, resulting in unique, heirloom-quality pieces that cannot be replicated by machines.
-
Fair Wages and Artisan Empowerment
A significant portion of our pricing goes directly to the artisans who create these masterpieces. Inlike mass producers who often underpay workers, Indian Crafts Co is committed to fair wages, safe working conditions, and community upliftment. When you buy from us, you are supporting the livelihoods of skilled craftspeople and helping preserve a centuries-old tradition.
-
Rigorous Quality Control and Finishing
Each item undergoes multiple rounds of quality checks and finishing—polishing, hammering, engraving, and more—to ensure it meets the highest standards. This attention to detail means our products are not only beautiful but also durable and safe for everyday use. Cheaper products often skip these steps, leading to inconsistent quality and shorter lifespans.
-
Customization, Design, and Innovation
Indian Crafts Co offers exclusive designs, modern aesthetics, and customization options that set our products apart. From hammered textures to Kalai (tin) coatings for safety, every detail is thoughtfully crafted for the contemporary home while honoring tradition. This design-led approach requires more time and resources, adding to the cost but also to the value you receive.
-
Rising Raw Material and Production Costs
The global price of copper and other metals has risen significantly in recent years due to supply constraints and increased demand56. Indian Crafts Co absorbs these costs to maintain quality, rather than cutting corners with inferior materials or processes. This ensures you receive a product that is both authentic and lasting.
-
Ethical and Sustainable Practices
Our commitment to sustainability means we avoid mass production, minimize waste, and use eco-friendly packaging. These practices are more expensive but reflect our responsibility to people and the planet—a value increasingly important to conscious consumers.
-
The True Cost of Heritage
When you choose Indian Crafts Co, you’re not just buying a vessel or décor piece—you’re investing in a story, a legacy, and a movement to keep Indian metalworking heritage alive for future generations.
Each purchase helps sustain a craft, a community, and a culture.
In Conclusion
Indian Crafts Co products are more expensive because they are more valuable—in quality, ethics, impact, and story. When you invest in our handcrafted copper, brass, or kansa, you are choosing authenticity, supporting artisans, and bringing home a piece of India’s living heritage
