Frequently Asked Questions
About House of Alkara
Each piece is created in small batches using premium fabrics, gemstones, hand-painting, and artisanal detailing. No mass production—every design passes through multiple artisan hands, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind creation.
All concepts begin in our sketchbooks and mood boards, developed by our design team in the United States.
Our apparel and jewelry are then handcrafted in our own manufacturing units in New Delhi and Jaipur, India, by highly skilled artisans using ethically sourced materials and meticulous hand-finishing techniques.
Qaulity, Materials & Care

Yes. Each piece—whether jewelry or apparel—is shaped, embroidered, painted, or finished entirely by hand. Natural variations should be expected and are part of the charm of genuine artisanal craftsmanship.
