About Us
Premium Heritage Pottery of India
“Terracotta by Sachii” is a designed and curated collection of contemporary lifestyle products in traditional terracotta crafts from heritage pottery clusters of India.
The brand was born in September 2020 with a vision to bring indigenous pottery crafts into the mainstream and help customers live healthy, sustainable, and environmentally friendly lives by going back to the roots through natural and earthy terracotta ware, while also sustaining the artisans in these age-old crafts and helping preserve an integral part of India’s cultural heritage.
We marry our design skills with the handcrafting skills of the artisans to co-create with them contemporary, functional products that are also high on aesthetics and relevance.
The range includes home décor, cookware, serveware, and lifestyle accessories.
Each state or region of Bharat has its own unique styles of indigenous claycraft or pottery, which have been handed down through generations but are slowly losing out to industrial products.
At Terracotta by Sachii, we connect traditional pottery clusters of our culturally rich motherland, making beautiful indigenous pottery and unable to sell to far-away buyers, with discerning craft lovers with no direct access to these beautiful products, through the power of e-commerce!
Today, we are already selling master creations from at least 5 different craft clusters and are adding new clusters and expanding our impact regularly!

Her education exposed her to craft clusters and these became her everlasting relationships! Holding an experience of 15+ years in the crafts sector, along with 12+ years of experience in the e-commerce industry, she has married her passion, experience and knowledge of the sector to create an artisanal earthenware brand that works towards combining design and craft to create and curate products that are contemporary and functional, yet rich in tradition and heritage! Her deep love for indigenous heritage crafts and passion to keep them alive is the inspiration behind the doctoral research that she is currently pursuing.
