Our Story
Every city has a story. This one is ours.
Madras lives in the little things.
“In the first sip of filter coffee.”
Madras lives in the little things
In the first sip of filter coffee. In the familiar sound of an auto on a busy street. In the colours of Mylapore, the energy of George Town and the quiet joy of watching the waves at Marina Beach.
These aren’t just sights and routines. They’re memories, identities and little pieces of home.
From Madras was born from the idea of celebrating these everyday pieces of Chennai through souvenirs.
We want to create keepsakes that feel more personal than an ordinary souvenir — pieces that remind you of a favourite place, a familiar ritual or a city that will always hold a special place in your heart.
Our inspiration
Our inspiration comes from the Chennai we experience every day.
- Streets
- Food
- Culture
- Architecture
- Humour
- People
Our goal
To create thoughtfully designed Chennai-inspired souvenirs that help people celebrate, remember and share their connection with the city.
Whether you’re…
- A Chennai local
- Visiting for the first time
- Living far away from home
- Simply in love with the city’s character
…we hope you find a little piece of Madras here.
Our vision
A home for meaningful, locally inspired keepsakes.
We hope to grow From Madras into a home for meaningful, locally inspired keepsakes — beginning with fridge magnets and coasters, and gradually exploring more ways to celebrate the city.
We want our creations to travel beyond Chennai, carrying little stories of the city wherever they go.
More than a souvenir
For us, this is about celebrating the familiar, appreciating the little things and creating something that connects people to a place.
This is just the beginning.
From Madras. A little piece of home, made to travel.
