The boutique at The Serai was conceived with care and intention to represent a selection of only the finest, most elaborate skills and styles of India passed down through the generations.

Textiles have been described as the warp and the weft of India. The delicate embroidery and overlay of sparkling sequins and cotton chiffon kaftans is an art that comes to us from the days of the Grand Mughals. Worn by kings and queens, princes and princesses, from the splendid cities of Delhi, Lahore, Lucknow, Hyderabad, and more. These artisans even today embellish and style extraordinary fabrics in a manner few could match. We have them designed exclusively for The Serai.

The paintings from Madhubani in Bihar, once the greatest cultural seat of India, Pataliputra, are famous across the world. We have a superb collection here. These are works of timeless art, the finest examples of the deft and experienced hands of master painters in rural India.

The best of design and craft from Jaisalmer and The Thar Desert consisting of fine workmanship in stone, cloth, leather and bead work are made available here.

The furniture at The Serai is crafted based on British designs of 'Campaign Furniture'. You can place orders for these.

Desert Chic epitomizes the best of this land and has patterned its products to mesh with the environment keeping the organic strengths of this civilization alive while ensuring the survival and flowering of human skills. Our products represent the rich skill and craft of the Indian people, we intend to add to our selection exclusive and special objects, most of which will not be found elsewhere except at the source, only with those who create them.
