What you're agreeing to.

What these terms cover

These are the terms a piece is made under. They are written plainly because the whole arrangement is plain: you and Komal agree what is being made, and then it gets made. There is no account to open and nothing to sign.

Anything specific to your piece — the price, when payment happens, how it reaches you — is agreed with you directly before work starts. Where that is the case below, this page says so rather than guessing.

Nothing exists until you ask for it

Every piece is woven to order. Nothing on this site is held in stock, which is why there is no cart and no checkout — the site is a catalogue of what can be made, not a shelf of what is sitting ready.

An order becomes an order when the two of you have agreed the piece, the shade and the length, and not before. Adding nothing to a basket commits you to nothing.

How the price is set

A piece is priced by what it takes to make — the size of the net, the number of beads, and the hours in it. Those genuinely differ from piece to piece, which is why no price is printed on the site.

You are given a straight number before any weaving begins. If the number does not work for you, that is the end of it and nothing is owed.

How you pay

What is accepted and when it is asked for is settled with you in the same conversation, before work starts. Ask, and Komal will tell you exactly.

This page does not list payment methods or amounts, because doing so before they are decided would be inventing terms rather than stating them.

How long it takes

About a fortnight for most pieces, counted from the moment the details are agreed rather than from the first message. A bridal set, or several pieces together, takes longer.

If you have a date, say so at the start. It is usually possible to work to one, but only if it is known before the weaving is scheduled rather than after.

Where it goes

Pieces are sent across India as standard. Anywhere else, ask first — what it costs and how long it takes is checked and told to you before you commit to anything.

Delivery cost and the service used are part of what is agreed before work begins, for the same reason as the price.

If the fit is wrong

Send it back and it is adjusted. A handmade piece is worth altering rather than replacing, and that is the point of it having been made by a person rather than pressed out of a mould.

Getting the measurement right first is still the better path: there is a measuring guide on the care page, and a length can be checked over WhatsApp before anything is woven.

If something breaks

Thread can be re-strung and a net can be repaired. Send a photograph before attempting anything yourself — a bead net can be made worse by a well-meant repair, and what is involved is easier to judge from the picture than from a description.

Changing your mind

A piece begun for you is woven to your measurements in the shade you chose, so how much of it can be undone depends entirely on how far along it is.

Because of that, whether an order can be cancelled once weaving has started, and on what terms, is settled with Komal directly. Ask before you commit rather than after — you will get a straight answer either way.

What this page does not promise

It does not offer a stock item, a fixed catalogue price, a guaranteed dispatch date, a stated returns window, or a warranty period. None of those exist here, and listing them because a shop usually has them would be the dishonest version of this page.

What it does promise is that you are told the price, the timeline and the terms before any work begins, and that the person telling you is the person making it.

Who you are dealing with

Komal, weaving as Kalakriti by Komal from Saurashtra, Gujarat, India, reachable on WhatsApp or on +91 94846 68051. One person makes the piece, quotes the price and answers the phone, so anything on this page can be asked about directly.
