Our journey into decor began when we wanted something unique and handmade for our home.

We visited the local store of a giant multinational, as we usually did for everything until then – we love going there! Our daughter especially likes the fish and chips served in the café..!

We had until then been getting a large proportion of our household goods from this store. Albeit essentially machine-made and mass produced – like every household, we found ourselves spending a substantial part of our savings on this home decor.

But…. a lingering feeling of having missed something was always there. It dawned on us that machine-made and mass produced items may not be actually what we were looking for…

We started to reminisce about our childhood days – when our parent’s house was filled with mostly handmade furniture and decor items. Each item was a unique piece; only in our house; with a personality all of its own. It felt almost like a family member.

This realisation led us to begin to explore the world of handmade handicraft. We found we could finally create a home setting that we could completely relate to and aspire to; we put a bit of ourselves into the house and made it our home.

This also brought us face to face with the gap in the industry. The prices were high – and one could never be sure of the quality. The realisation set in that our strengths lay in the fact that because of our travels over the years, we know many artisans and craftspeople. The idea of Daffodil Exotica was born.

Our products are designed by the afore-mentioned artisans, to suit a modern home, while retaining the earthy essence of our vision; merging the two beautifully. We take pride in presenting our range of bespoke handicraft products, keeping in mind that it’s your home, and your taste.
