Incense

Incense was part of Satta from the start, the clearest expression of what the brand stood for: something that invites slowness, ritual and connection rather than just a transaction.

Natural incense from where it grows: white sage from California, palo santo wild-harvested in Ecuador from fallen trees, copal hand-rolled in Mexico, and Himalayan blends of barks, herbs and resins.

Each one in its own kraft box with a printed illustration, made to sit on a shelf as much as in a drawer.

The work

The same process as the clothing: sourcing, costing, packaging, and a margin that worked.
