Where the Hand
Still Signs its Name.
“A box is a small architecture — and the finest architecture is never built in haste.”
Inayra is not a factory. It is a private atelier of ten master karigars in Agra — artisans whose lineages trace back generations, whose hands know resin as intimately as silk, brass as intimately as thread.
We do not manufacture. We compose — one commission at a time, in the unhurried rhythm of true craft. Each box passes through eleven pairs of hands before it is signed, sealed and sent forward to its story.
Four unhurried promises.
Every box is composed for one client, one occasion — never repeated.
Master karigars trained through lineages that trace back generations.
Silk, velvet, brass, resin, marble, pinewood — all ethically sourced.
Concept sketches to concierge delivery — one point of quiet excellence.
Ten hands, one signature.
Our karigars are the true authors of Inayra. Master Rajesh has poured resin since 1998; Master Farooq works velvet in a way his grandfather taught him in a lane not far from the Taj. Each piece is a quiet collaboration between them and the client’s story.
Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is duplicated. Every commission is signed on the underside — a small emerald monogram and the karigar’s hand mark.
From 2019 — without haste.
Inayra opens as a two-karigar atelier above a tailor’s in Dayalbagh, Agra.
The house’s signature hand-poured resin technique is refined — our A-series is born.
The catalogue expands to six atelier collections, from Bhaji Boxes to Coin Reliquaries.
Our current catalogue holds sixty-six pieces — each composed by hand, each signed.
Your story, our hands.
