About Us
10 Years Of Delighting Crafters Across The World
Set up in 2012, with providing quilling related crafting supplies to crafters across India, CraftGully.com® has today grown to cover 8,000+ quality crafting supplies across decoupage, scrapbooking, mixed media, card making, etc. as well as the evergreen crafts such as jewellery making, flower making, macrame, etc.
We now have a range specialising in painting and related supplies under the brand name Creative Genie®, as well as a range specialising in scrapbooking and paper craft related supplies under the brand name Scrappy Tales®.
We have also worked with one of India’s largest conglomerates to compile and produce a series of kits geared towards building fine motor skills, developing spatial ability, encouraging scientific enquiry, and enhancing environmental awareness in pre-primary children.
And recently, we launched a series of kits for kids (which are equally attractive for adults), based around a philosophy we like to call CREAM (Creative, Riveting, Entertaining, Artistic, Magical). These currently include the Sparkling Mosaic Kits, The Alphabet Doodle Kits, with many more coming out soon.
Some little known (and some maybe not so little known) facts about us:
* Believe it or not, we actually have our complete logistics and warehousing based out of Goa. Yeah!, you won’t hear any complaints from our team when it comes to work locations.
* We stock every single product that we sell ... and all at a single location. Thanks to this, you receive your complete order in one single neatly packed package delivered to your doorstep.
* This also ensures that we are able to ship out your order super fast, and that you are assured of receiving every single product that you have ordered.
* Our quality team has a borderline fanatical obsession with quality which ensures that we sometimes reject complete lots of products that we get produced only to ensure that you receive exactly what you order, and without any defects.
* Over the years we have perfected the art of packaging over a hundred products in one carton which travels thousands of kilometres to be received by the customer in pristine condition without any damage whatsoever.
* We have been covered by some of the most prominent publications in India, including Women’s Entrepreneur Magazine, Times of India (National Edition), Financial Express, Times of India (Goa Edition), YourStory, Indian Online Seller, etc.
* In the last 10 years, we have delivered over a million products to more than 30 countries across the world.
