Our Artisans & Eco-Friendly Products
How do artisans benefit from ecoshilp?
At ecoshilp, we believe in fair trade and sustainable livelihoods for our artisan partners. We ensure artisans receive fair wages that reflect their skill and time investment, typically 20-35% higher than local market rates. By eliminating middlemen, our artisans receive a larger share of the final selling price, creating a more sustainable income stream for their families.
What makes your products eco-friendly?
Our commitment to eco-friendliness is reflected in every aspect of our products. We exclusively use biodegradable and renewable materials like bamboo, jute, horn (ethically sourced as a by-product), terracotta, and natural fibers. For colored products, we rely on plant-based dyes from sources like indigo, turmeric, and madder root, completely avoiding harmful chemical dyes that damage ecosystems.

When will my item arrive?
For domestic orders within India, you can expect your package to arrive within 3-7 business days after dispatch. International shipments typically take 4-22 business days, with delivery times varying based on the destination country and local customs processing procedures.
Do you offer same-day delivery?
Currently, we don't offer same-day delivery as our products are handcrafted with care and require proper packaging to ensure they reach you in perfect condition. For urgent orders within Bhubaneswar, please contact our customer service team directly to discuss expedited shipping options that may be available.
