To bring hand picked treasures 

Right on to your iPad!

Jaypore, is made of a handful of dweebs who are passionate about craft, artisans, design and above all, connecting savvy shoppers with unique, one-of-a-kind products found in the remotest corners of the world. The team at Jaypore, start their journey in India, and have connected with designers and craftsmen in awe-inspiring places like Jaipur, Goa, Pondicherry, Tibet, and more. Spread across India and the Bay Area, the Jaypore team firmly believes that shoppers around the world deserve more than the mass-produced so-called ethnic designs and fashion big box retailers peddle. And that the independent artisans around the world deserve access to a world of consumers seeking out unique global treasures.

This is what the team at Jaypore have to say about their creative venture:

We discover the best designs from artisans and craftsmen from countries around the world, and deliver them at exceptional value to our members. Every day, visit us on your iPad to discover a new story. We don't like to call them sales, or events. We are storytellers; about amazing product, and the people behind them. Jaypore focuses on products with unique, high quality craftsmanship; unmistakably local designs that feel at home anywhere in the world. Our products include home decor, accessories, jewelry, apparel, gifts, vintage items and more..
