The Newal Kishore Press once published the definitive texts on Indian crafts. At Le Press Galleria, we now carry the definitive things. The Galleria is not a mall. It is a curated argument for why Indian craft matters — now, commercially, culturally, urgently.
Every brand in the Galleria has been selected against three criteria: quality of craft, authenticity of sourcing, and commitment to artisan livelihoods. Amrapali’s jewels, MulMul’s handlooms, Nicobar’s thoughtful design — these are not just products. They are positions.
Le Press’s craft curation gives the 18 artisan families in our supply chain a market, a story, and a stage. Our 84% local supply chain is not a CSR commitment. It is our business model.
