Tabletop décor sourcing from India.
Tabletop is a cross-cluster category — brass serving pieces from Moradabad, hand-carved wood boards and trays from Saharanpur, marble coasters and centrepieces from Agra, enamel and bone-inlay from Jaipur, placemats and napkin rings in textile and metal from Panipat. Asia Sourcing manages integrated development across all layers for retail and gifting programmes.

Programme architecture
A typical first-container tabletop programme runs 40-80 SKUs blended across formats — a table-styling retailer will mix 15 serving pieces, 10 coaster-and-placemat SKUs, 8 napkin rings, 6 runners, 5 centrepieces. We architect the collection as a single palette (finish, colour, material blend) so the retail photography and merchandising hold together.
