Handmade Terracotta, Made for Modern UAE Homes

ARK Naturals brings handcrafted terracotta drinkware, cookware, serveware, and décor to the UAE, shaped by artisans, not machines. Every piece carries small variations in tone and texture. That's not a flaw. That's the handmade part.

What We're Building

We work directly with artisan clusters across India to bring authentic, handcrafted terracotta to UAE homes while keeping their craft and their livelihoods intact.

We're not chasing mass production. We're building a name people trust for handmade quality, sourced responsibly and made to last.

Why ARK Naturals

  • Handmade, Not Manufactured:

    Every piece passes through an artisan's hands before it reaches yours, shaped, fired and finished the traditional way.

  • Designed for Today:

    Earthy tones. Clean lines. Terracotta that fits a modern UAE home, not just a museum shelf.

  • Built for UAE Life:

    Clear care instructions, responsive support on WhatsApp and packaging that survives the trip to your door.

Meet the Founder: Fahd Khatri

Textiles run in my family, so fashion was never a stretch; it was where, I was always headed. I studied at Byramjee Jeejeebhoy College, then Aston University in Birmingham, and cut my teeth working alongside designers like Shantanu & Nikhil before starting my own label, FAHD KHATRI, which went on to show at some of India's biggest fashion events.

But somewhere along the way, I kept circling back to the artisans I'd met in villages across India, hands shaping clay the way they had for generations, unhurried, exact. When the pandemic brought fashion to a standstill, I finally had the time to follow that pull. ARK Naturals is what grew out of it: a way to carry their craft forward, shaped for how we live today.

"Handmade isn't a trend. It's a return to what matters: craft, community, and living with intention."

How It's Made

  • Shaped by hand, forms built for how they'll actually be used.

  • Fired for strength, so they hold up to daily use.

  • Finished with matte textures, patterns, and glazes, where the design calls for it.

  • Checked and packed, inspected piece by piece before it ships.

  • Designed in the UAE, crafted with the same attention to detail from start to finish.
