Finding ethical gifts in the masses of products that exist today can be a hard task. We also like to give a gift that has value of sentiment – indeed Valentine’s and Galentine’s day seem to be the best occasions to gift with thought. There’s so much on the market to buy for the people you love, but not many gifts that will last longer than the anticipation of unwrapping them. The House Of Gharats ethical silk scarf and pocket square collection is all about balancing luxury with consciousness.

Conscious Gifting, Not Novelty Gifting
Our quest for sharing more love in the world, has us thinking of how we give gifts that share more than a novelty. As celebrations increase, it feels as if we give gifts that provide face value more than they do sentimental value. Maybe to overcome this you give your loved one ‘vouchers’ to promise them a date night. The meaning of these gifts is beautiful; you gift your time and love, things that can be hard to find.
But what if your gift was one of both time and love, but also beautiful design, a fashionable statement. One that gives ethically and makes a difference in the lives of those that your gift supports?
We’re always taking inspiration from love, creating with love to spread more love. says our Founder-Designer Neishaa Gharat.
It’s The Little Things
“We’re always taking inspiration from love, creating with love to spread more love.” says our Founder-Designer Neishaa Gharat. Love exists in many forms, namely for our friends and family, but we also give love to strangers. Kind gestures, voluntary work, giving up your seat on the tube for someone else. No matter how inconsequential these acts of kindness may seem, they all connect us with someone else out of love. We spare a thought for someone else and hold the door for someone else, out of love. You don’t know the person you stopped the lift for. In any other situation, you might not even like the person that you let in front of the queue. All of this is inconsequential out of love, because love for others offers much more than you may think, and our world is becoming more conscious about it.

A Gift Truly Inspired By Love
One of our collections was truly inspired by love. The Song of The Flute collection, inspired by Lord Krishna and his expressions of love, holds three different designs. These silk scarves, pocket squares and neckerchiefs depict illustrations from stories of Krishna and his lovers. These designs are hand illustrated artworks inspired by the ancient & sacred Pichwai Paintings, each telling a story to touch your heart. “The Dance of Divine Love” scarf & pocket square beautifully expresses stories of Krishna’s Gopis dancing and bathing in love. How much more loving does a fashion accessory get? This artful collection makes the perfect his and her gift set.
