The Sustainable Switch: 5 Homegrown Kitchen And Tableware Brands To Try This Earth Day

This Earth Day, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a shift in perspective, one that begins in the spaces we occupy most intimately. Our kitchens are often the heart of our homes, and transforming them into more mindful, earth-conscious spaces doesn’t require grand gestures. 

Sometimes, it’s in our quiet choices: choosing handcrafted over factory-made, embracing natural materials over synthetic ones, and turning to artisans who treat every product as an extension of culture and care. These five homegrown Indian brands are doing just that, reviving crafts, honouring tradition, and redefining what sustainable kitchen and tableware can look like.
