Dohur is a slow-living brand inspired by family stories and textile traditions.

Slow-made in small batches

Dohur conceives, sources and produces artisanal objects, crafted by hand in small batches.

They 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.


Fewer, better things

Dohur’s products are culturally, socially and environmentally sustainable. We support traditional artisans, work with durable natural materials and encourage our customers to buy fewer things, better chosen.

Arpna’s story

“Although Dohur is inspired in part by the textile traditions of India, its identity – like mine – is linked to many different cultures.”

“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.”

Made together, for planet and people

  • We collaborate to make new traditions

    Dohur is built on the idea that objects tell tales: when you buy one of our products, you inherit with it the stories of all those involved in its making. Collaboration is at the heart of our ethos: we work as closely as possible to every person in every step of our supply chain.

    In most cases that supply chain is separated geographically across countries and even continents, but what we do have in common is a believe that cross-cultural exchange can create new traditions at the same time as it supports and celebrates older ones.

  • We offer fewer things, better chosen

    We encourage our customers to buy less and choose well: all Dohur products are culturally, socially and environmentally sustainable.

    As a business, we create opportunities for Indian artisans and expand their reach locally and globally. All of our activities have an impact on planetary health, so we are embedding responsible practices to mitigate this impact.
