BAGUS means 'Good' or 'Goodness' – even 'Beautiful' in Indonesian.
BAGUS brings genuine handmade home décor from around the world to customers in India. We personally meet artisans and curate natural products because we believe that how an object is made matters as much as how it looks.
What is BAGUS?
BAGUS is a curated marketplace for natural and handmade home décor. We source unique pieces from skilled craftspeople—soapstone carvers in Kenya, woodworkers in Java, and master potters and weavers from Bali and beyond.
The Handmade Philosophy
We live in a world of disposable objects, fast furniture, and plastic décor designed to be replaced rather than treasured. Handmade pieces represent a different philosophy: they are made with care, built to last, and designed to develop character over time.
A soapstone bowl you own for 20 years is more meaningful—and more sustainable—than five mass-produced items. Whether it is teak wood or driftwood, these products are crafted to last more than a lifetime. We believe in handmade because it is better for the customer, the artisan, and the environment.
Why We Source Globally
Certain crafts require specific expertise rooted in regional heritage. Soapstone carving traditions are deep-seated in African craft culture, while specific pottery and woodcarving techniques are unique to Southeast Asia. We go where the mastery is.
In many markets, mass production leads to the exploitation of skilled craftsmen and a surplus of identical, undervalued products. At BAGUS, we disrupt this cycle by meeting artisans directly and curating products that represent their true skill, not a factory line.
Our Sourcing Philosophy
Quality & Authenticity: We only source genuinely natural materials—stone, wood, clay, and fiber. Everything we sell is handcrafted by artisans and never factory-produced.
Transparency: We are honest about our origins. We don't fabricate stories or exaggerate relationships; we tell you exactly where your products come from, authenticated by our direct import sourcing.
Fairness & Ethics: We ensure craftspeople earn meaningful compensation. We work exclusively with suppliers who treat artisans fairly and maintain ethical working conditions.
Sustainability: By using materials freely available in nature and supporting long-lasting craftsmanship, we embrace a sustainable approach to home décor.
The BAGUS Difference
Each piece at BAGUS tells the story of the craftsperson who made it, the time they invested, and the heritage they carry. When you choose BAGUS, you are buying genuine handmade pieces crafted for you and inspired by nature.
