Homemade
Made in small batches by independent makers, with the kind of care you can see and feel.
Curated
Every piece on our shelves is chosen by hand. Fewer things, picked well.
Gifts & Souvenirs
Something special to give, or a little bit of Coorg to take home with you.
Why we exist
Good things deserve a good shop.
The Steel Box began as a pop-up for Coorg's makers. Today it's a curated store: we go looking for well-made gifts and souvenirs from independent makers and small brands, and give them a shelf where people will find them.
Every piece is chosen by hand, and we'd always rather stock something made by people we can name than anything mass-produced. Now the same shelves are coming online, so you can find them wherever you are.
Make something we should stock? Talk to usMore than a shop
The same idea — helping small, creative businesses thrive — runs through everything we do.

Tools & learning
The billing software that runs our store, plus AI tools, courses and talks for small businesses.
For small businesses
Our shop runs on tools we built
Nothing off the shelf fitted a small store like ours, so we built our own billing and stock system. Every sale at The Steel Box goes through it.
Now we're opening it up to other makers and small businesses — along with AI tools, courses and talks on using them well.

The Build
We built this place out of shipping containers
Foundations, pillars, transport, fabrication: we wrote down every step and every rupee while building the store on our coffee estate in Coorg. If you're planning a container build of your own, start here.
