Our Story

Tint Tales: A Canvas of Culture and Colour

Tint Tales is a celebration of art, colour, and storytelling brought to life through creations you can decorate, wear, and carry. Rooted in the culturally rich land of Odisha, inspired by the divine legacy of Jagannath, our journey is an ode to traditional artistry and contemporary expression. We draw inspiration from the intricate narratives of Pattachitra and the vibrant charm of Pipli appliqué, blending heritage with modern design. Each piece we create transforms everyday essentials into hand-painted works of art—crafted with care, and designed to tell a story. No two creations are ever the same. Every product reflects individuality, fine craftsmanship, and a conscious choice to celebrate uniqueness over mass production. At Tint Tales, we also believe in nurturing creativity beyond our own studio. We extend our canvas to fellow artists by offering thoughtfully curated bases, encouraging them to explore, create, and bring their own artistic visions to life.

Origin

The Origin of Pattachitra

Pattachitra is one of India's oldest surviving art traditions, born over a thousand years ago around the temples of Puri, Odisha. The name combines Sanskrit "Patta" (cloth) and "Chitra" (picture). Originally painted on hand-prepared scrolls, these works tell stories of Lord Jagannath, Krishna's Raas Leela, and the Dashavatara - bold outlines, vibrant natural colours, and an unmistakable refusal to leave any space empty. Each Pattachitra is less a painting and more a meditation - a slow, sacred conversation between the artist and the divine.
