In an era where fast-paced lifestyles often leave little space for time-honored rituals, Aishworya Shrestha, co-founder of Kisty Decors, is redefining how Nepalis celebrate their most meaningful milestones. Through thoughtfully curated Supari Sagun hampers, her brand bridges the emotional richness of Nepali tradition with the elegance of contemporary design.

Rooted in cultural pride and creative expression, Aishworya’s journey began not as a business plan, but as a family responsibility. While preparing handcrafted hampers for a wedding, the overwhelming appreciation for the detail, care, and presentation sparked a realization; traditions do not have to remain static. They can evolve gracefully without losing their soul. That moment became the foundation of Kisty Decors, a brand dedicated to reimagining rituals while preserving their authenticity.

Where Tradition Meets Modern Aesthetics

At the heart of Kisty Decors lies a delicate balance between heritage and innovation. Each hamper retains traditional essentials such as Lakhmari, Mithai, Sel Roti, Dahi, fruits, and Supari, presented through minimalist layouts, soft color palettes, and refined packaging. The result is a visually timeless offering that resonates across generations, honoring cultural roots while appealing to modern sensibilities.

Filling a Cultural Gap

With changing lifestyles, nuclear families, and increasingly busy schedules, traditional Sagun preparations; once a joyful, collective activity, have become difficult to manage. Many families still wish to honor customs but seek convenience, personalization, and aesthetic appeal.

Kisty Decors emerged to meet this need. By handling the preparation with care and creativity, the brand restores the emotional essence of Sagun while making the process stress-free for today’s families. What was once a burden is transformed back into a meaningful experience.

Challenges and Commitment to Authenticity

One of the early challenges was building trust. Many were uncertain whether a brand could replicate the warmth and sentiment of homemade Sagun hampers. Another hurdle was maintaining cultural authenticity while introducing modern design elements.

To overcome this, Kisty Decors committed to quality and genuineness; sourcing Mithai, Lakhmari, Sel Roti, and fruits from trusted local makers. This dedication to authenticity not only strengthened credibility but also fostered a deeper connection with clients.

From Concept to Creation

Every Kisty Decors hamper begins with a story. Understanding the client’s occasion, preferences, and emotions forms the foundation of the design process. From selecting color themes and materials to perfecting layout and presentation, each piece is carefully curated. Every hamper is handcrafted with precision and delivered with care, ensuring that it reflects both sentiment and sophistication.

Empowering Local Artisans

Supporting local craftsmanship is central to Kisty Decors’ philosophy, reflected in its tagline “Enhancing Tradition.” By working with local sweet makers, roti artisans, and traditional craftsmen, the brand ensures authenticity while contributing to local livelihoods and preserving age-old skills.

Personalization That Creates Memories

What truly sets Kisty Decors apart is its emphasis on personalization. Handwritten notes, custom name tags, and color themes aligned with family traditions or the couple’s story turn each hamper into more than a gift; they become keepsakes. These thoughtful details transform formal rituals into heartfelt memories.

Evolving Customer Preferences

Customer preferences are also evolving. There is a growing demand for minimalist, sustainable, and story-driven hampers, with eco-friendly packaging and neutral tones gaining popularity. Today’s clients seek gifts that reflect their values, taste, and cultural connection; a trend that aligns seamlessly with Kisty Decors’ vision.

A Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Aishworya’s advice to young entrepreneurs is simple yet powerful: start with purpose and authenticity. Modernizing tradition is not about changing culture but helping it grow. By staying creative, listening deeply, and honoring one’s roots, meaningful ideas can evolve into impactful businesses.
