About Us

Celebrating Odisha’s Heritage, One Handcrafted Piece at a Time

At TRIBAL HUT, we believe that every handcrafted product is more than just an object—it’s a story, a legacy, and a piece of culture passed down through generations. Founded and run by Lipika Mishra, TRIBAL HUT is a proud proprietorship that exists to celebrate and promote the incredible artistry of Odisha, India. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to bring the authentic crafts of Odisha to homes across the world, while supporting the skilled artisans who keep these traditions alive.

From the soft texture of Sabai grass to the intricate carvings on wooden furniture, our products are a living testament to Odisha’s vibrant cultural history. Each creation carries within it the hands, heart, and soul of an artisan, making it truly one of a kind.

Our Story – How TRIBAL HUT Came to Life

The journey of TRIBAL HUT began not just as a business idea, but as a calling. Founder Lipika Mishra grew up surrounded by Odisha’s rich artistic traditions—festivals adorned with handcrafted décor, markets buzzing with the colors of handmade bags, and homes graced with finely crafted wooden furniture. Over time, she recognized a pressing need: although Odisha’s artisans created remarkable works, many of them struggled to find a wider audience for their craft.

TRIBAL HUT was born from the desire to bridge that gap. We set out to create a platform where traditional artistry could meet the modern marketplace—without losing its authenticity. Our name itself reflects this vision: a “hut” that serves as a warm, welcoming space for tribal and traditional crafts to find new homes.

From humble beginnings, our brand has grown into a trusted source for authentic, handmade wooden décor, furniture, and Sabai products. What started with a few artisan partners has now become a collaborative network, where we work closely with skilled craftspeople to ensure every product is a blend of tradition, utility, and beauty.

Our Collections – The Heart of TRIBAL HUT

We specialize in two major categories of handcrafted goods, each carrying its own unique charm and heritage value.

1. Handcrafted Wooden Décor & Furniture

Product ID prefix: “W”

Our wooden collection is a celebration of craftsmanship in its purest form. Sourced and shaped by skilled artisans, each piece is designed to bring warmth, elegance, and rustic sophistication into your space.

A Message from Our Founder

“When I started TRIBAL HUT, I wasn’t just opening a store—I was opening a doorway. A doorway through which people could step into the artistry, history, and warmth of Odisha. Every time someone buys one of our products, they’re not just taking home a piece of décor or furniture—they’re taking home a part of a story, a heritage, a tradition. That, to me, is priceless.”
