1757 — 1947

Made by
Her Hands.

Every garment carries the name of every woman who touched it — the weaver, the dyer, the finisher. Their work built India. We refuse to let it go unnamed.

Their hands
wove India
into being

SARITA was born from a refusal to forget. The women who fought the British Empire did not only carry swords — they carried entire civilisations in their weaves, their dyes, their looms. To wear SARITA is to carry that forward.

We work with artisan communities across India, translating living textile traditions into silhouettes for the modern woman — one who knows exactly where she comes from and is unafraid of where she is going.

01

Artisan First

These crafts survived colonisation because ordinary women protected them. We partner directly with their descendants — fair wages, always.

02

Slow Fashion

Two collections a year. No overproduction. Each garment is made with intention — not churned out, never disposable.

03

Reclamation

The British systematically destroyed Indian textile industries. Every garment we make is an act of restoration — of craft, identity, and pride.

04

Named Origins

Every label carries the artisan's name and region. Anonymity was the coloniser's tool. We name everyone.

Sourced with Intent
Chanderi Silk
Madhya Pradesh

A 600-year-old weave known for its sheer texture and delicate gold zari work. Breathable in summer, warm in winter.

Khadi Cotton
Gujarat & Bengal

Hand-spun, hand-woven, and synonymous with self-reliance. The softest cotton you'll ever wear against your skin.

Tussar Silk
Jharkhand

Wild-grown and hand-reeled. Rich gold tones with a natural slub texture that gives every piece its own character.

Linen Blend
Kerala

Organic linen grown in coastal farms, blended with local cotton for structure, drape, and all-day ease.

They governed, they wove, they led, they endured. Each collection is named for one of them — and carries the textile tradition of the region they called home.

Beautiful clothes,
cleaner earth

Every decision we make — from loom to label — is guided by one question: does this leave people and places better than we found them?
