Our story
Crafteve's roots go back to 2000, when a small woodworking workshop opened in Nagina, Bijnor — a town in Uttar Pradesh long known for its craft traditions. For over two decades we shaped pieces by hand for local markets. In 2025 we registered formally and began shipping to customers across India and around the world.
What we believe
We work with Sheesham, Mango, Acacia and Pine — hardwoods deeply rooted in India's craft tradition. Each log is inspected for grain and moisture before any shaping begins.
Every cut, joint, and finish is done by one of our 24 artisans in our Nagina, Bijnor workshop. Precision laser engraving is used where exact detail demands it — the rest is entirely by hand.
Finished with food-safe mineral oil — no lacquers, no shortcuts. Pieces that deepen in colour and character with every year of use.
Every piece is carefully packed from our workshop in Nagina, India and delivered internationally. Free shipping on orders over $100 to the USA and globally.
The process
Every piece begins with careful wood selection. We use Mango, Acacia and Pine — each chosen for grain, density, and durability. The wood is inspected, dried, and only then does shaping begin by hand.
The man behind the workshop
"The artisans of Nagina have been making heirlooms for 200 years. I just made sure the world could find them."
Founder & CEO
Some towns are known for what they make. Nagina, a quiet district of Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh, has been shaping wood for over two hundred years — rosewood chess sets, lacquered boxes, carved figurines that find their way into homes across India without ever quite getting the credit they deserve. Growing up here, Aman Suhail absorbed all of it: the rasp of a hand-plane before sunrise, the way an old craftsman reads grain the way others read faces, the odd pride of a town that never stopped making beautiful things even when nobody was looking.
He left for Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States — studying data science, marketing analytics, consumer behaviour. He graduated, looked at the tools he'd collected, and turned around. Not because the world had nothing to offer. Because Nagina had something the world hadn't found yet.
"The workshops here produce pieces that belong in design magazines. They were selling them at bazaar prices because nobody had built the bridge. That's all Crafteve is — a bridge with very high standards."
In 2025 he formalised the workshop that had been running since 2000, brought in international logistics, built direct sales channels, and kept exactly one constraint: everything is made in Nagina, by the same 24 artisans, without shortcuts. Crafteve is not a platform. It is not a curated marketplace. It is one room, one team, one standard — and a shipping label that now reaches thirty countries.
