At Sitara, we believe gifts should be more than the mass-produced items too many of us reluctantly buy. Sitara products are all handmade by talented artisans who are fairly paid for their creations. A portion of the purchase price from every Sitara Collections item is funneled directly to the Sitara Foundation, which gives back to the people of India, who are the inspiration and backbone of Sitara Collections. We do this through our financial support of the School for Educational Development (Shiksha Vikas Vidyalaya) in the northern Indian village of Chanchali.
