No. 01A handmade metal mirror from the village of Aranmula — cast from a closely guarded alloy and polished by hand until it reflects like glass. In Kerala homes it is kept for good fortune.
No. 02Little wooden dolls dressed in Kerala’s traditional attire — the cream-and-gold kasavu saree, the crisp mundu — each one painted by hand.
No. 03Cardamom, pepper, cinnamon and clove from Kerala’s hills, packed small and pretty so your kitchen smells like the Western Ghats.
No. 04Coffee stirrers topped with little Kerala motifs — think elephants, coconut palms and houseboats. Your filter coffee deserves it.
No. 05Illustrated postcards of backwaters, cliffs and temple festivals. Send one home — or keep it for your pinboard.
No. 06Designer mugs with Kerala prints, made for slow mornings, long chats and a strong cup of chai.
