In Kashmir, a gift is never just an object, but a fragment of a story, a breath of the valley’s soul. It’s the scent of saffron fields carried on alpine winds, the hush of pashmina being folded with care, the golden hush of white honey flowing like summer memory. In July, when weddings bloom like wildflowers and loved ones reunite under the walnut tree’s shade, gifting becomes a celebration of feeling.

Merak—a word that speaks of quiet joy, of the deep sense of bliss found in giving something truly meaningful. At Hands of Gold, Merak is more than a name; it is a philosophy. Our Merak gifting collection captures this feeling with grace and gratitude, blending the finest elements of Kashmiri culture into keepsakes that stir the heart.
From threads of saffron plucked by hand to the velvety purity of white honey harvested from highland hives, each offering is a whisper of the land. Paired with heritage craft and local abundance, the collection invites you to gift an experience. Every piece is wrapped in sustainable, artful packaging that echoes the beauty of Kashmir’s landscapes and the quiet dignity of its artisans.
Whether it’s a wedding you’re toasting, a homecoming you’re honouring, or simply a moment you’re marking with love, Merak gifts made in paper mache transcend the material. They are messengers of emotion, rooted in history, alive with craft, and overflowing with care.
Choose Merak for your moments of giving. Let your love be wrapped in silk and scent, in stories and soul. Let Kashmir arrive not just as a memory, but as a presence, one beautiful box at a time.
