Dohur is a slow-living brand inspired by family stories and textile traditions. Dohur conceives, sources and produces artisanal objects, crafted by hand in small batches.
Dohur’s products are made in a conscious, unhurried way that imbues quality and connects cultures. They have heart and soul, and with them our customers inherit the stories of all those involved in their material and their making.
Dohurs founder, Arpna Gupta combines her Indian background with her Norwegian identity. “I was raised in India, lived in Norway and am now based in London. Along the way I have learned that many of the most meaningful aspects of those cultures – craft, tradition, giving – are in danger of being lost because we simply don’t take the time to understand or appreciate them. With Dohur I wanted to reconnect people with the slow process of making, and to honour the makers. Derived from the Hindi word ‘dohra’, which means double, a dohur is a light Indian quilt. To me it perfectly signifies our twofold approach: to consciously create useful and beautiful things, and to support traditional craft skills.”
