About
A shop that started as a suitcase
Yuzu began in January 2026 with forty-two artifacts carried back from Kyoto in hand luggage, and a spreadsheet of the people who made them. We buy small, we buy directly, and we do not restock anything we cannot stand behind twice.

The founder
Aditi Sahrawat
Founder & Art Collector
“What if I could bring a little piece of each place back home with me?”
Aditi Sahrawat is an artist, photographer, and a lifelong traveller. She’s worked with creative teams in India, the US, and London — but her heart is always on the road.
After wandering through 40+ countries, she had that one thought. And that’s how Yuzu was born — a global edit of rare, handmade pieces from artisans around the world. Each piece chosen with care to add light, warmth, texture, and a little wanderlust to your space.
Because your home deserves stories, not just things. And every piece has one.

How we work
Three rules, unchanged since Drop 001
Bought, not commissioned
We buy what makers already make. We do not ask them to change a colour so it sells better in India.
Paid in full, upfront
Every workshop is paid before the artifact ships. No consignment, no returns pushed back down the chain.
Small on purpose
Most artifacts arrive in batches of two to twenty. When they are gone we do not promise a second run.
Where we are
A studio in Gurgaon, and a suitcase that is rarely unpacked.
Four of us pack every order by hand. If you write to us, one of the four writes back — usually Aditi, usually late.
Forty-two artifacts carried back from Kyoto. Drop 001 sells out in nine days.
