The list / About

How this is made

589 brands and 10 markets, last updated November 14, 2026.

Where listings come from

Brands are added from public sources: vendor rosters that markets publish, event listings, and published gift guides. Many are then checked against the brand's own site or profile.

What gets listed

  • Founder-run and small brands with a South Asian founder.
  • Brands based in the United States, plus a few abroad that sell to US customers.
  • Markets, pop-ups and cultural events where these brands sell.

What does not

  • Large retail chains and their US arms.
  • Anything we could not confirm from a public page.
  • Private details. We never publish personal contact information, private-community records, internal notes or collaboration scores.

About the listings

Brand pages show the business details we have on record: what it sells, specialties, location, links and recorded market appearances. Missing details stay blank. A listing’s last-checked date is distinct from any dated Instagram follower range.

Heritage labels, where present, are self-described in a public source. Founder details appear only when the brand’s own site or profile confirms them. Request a correction or removal at any time.

Market counts

The number beside each market is how many listed brands we can link to it from a published roster, the event's own listing, or a brand's own page. Events that publish no vendor list show a low number, so read it as a floor.

Corrections

If a listing is wrong, or you want your brand taken off, see claim or remove a listing.
