Our Story

Our Journey: 20+ Years of Artisanship & Organic Colors

Founder's TeamJuly 16, 20266 min read15,243 views328 comments

For over 20 years, we have been dedicated to the art of saree and suit making. Before 2012, we worked as artisans in others' homes, learning the craft and perfecting our skills.

In 2012, we started our own small karkhana at home. We had just 2 tablesto begin with. Being new to running our own setup, we bought fabric with our own money and started manufacturing ready-made suits and sarees.

But being new, we made mistakes. Many of our ready-made products got damaged — the fabric quality, the stitching, the finishing — we were learning everything the hard way.

"Being new meant learning through losses. It took us 1.5 years to recover and get back on track."

It took us 1.5 years to recover from that loss. During this time, we improved our quality control, refined our processes, and learned from every mistake. Slowly, we started building trust with our customers.

By 2021, we had grown enough to renovate our home workspace. We expanded from 2 tables to 4 tables, creating more space and a smoother workflow.

Since then, we've been consistently manufacturing suits, sarees, and fabrics — preparing them from A to Z and selling to our customers who appreciate quality and tradition.

🌿 Our Organic Colors

At our karkhana, we believe in nature's wisdom. That's why we use organic and natural colorsfor our fabrics.

Red Color

Made from rice grown in the fields. The rice is fermented to make gam (fermented rice paste), then mixed with fitkari (alum) water to create this beautiful, rich red.

Black Color

Made from rust of iron. The rust is collected and processed, with aata(flour) added to ensure the right consistency for a deep, rich black.

Brown & Blue

Both brown and blue colors are also prepared from aata (flour) base, combined with other natural ingredients to create these warm, earthy tones.

Other Colors

For our other color variations, we use bender colors(synthetic) — but all colors are chosen to be organic and skin-friendly.

✨ All our colors are prepared with care to ensure they are safe, long-lasting, and gentle on the skin.

Today, we're proud of our 20+ years of experience. From working in others' homes to running our own karkhana with 4 tables and organic colors — it's been a journey of hard work, patience, resilience, and steady growth.

"From 2 tables to 4 tables. From losses to learning. From synthetic to organic. From others'homes to our own."
