And as the name suggests pure sustainable luxurious textiles are what makes us unique. India has a rich tradition of craft and textile and this is what inspires us to create fabrics so gorgeous and luxurious that falling in love is but inevitable. Our story began a few years ago when Anavila was chosen to manage a CRAFT CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, by Ministry of rural development, Government of I

ndia in collaboration with NIFT, New Delhi as a Project Consultant and Design Studio Manager. A graduate from National Institute of fashion Technology in New Delhi ,India; Anavila started her career as a designer for leading fashion brands in India. A few years into the industry and she got drawn to rich heritage of Indian crafts and textiles. When on the project Anavila interacted with artisans across the length of the country. The beauty and immense possibilities trapped in these far out remote areas stayed with Anavila even after the project was concluded. And a contemporary take on Traditional Indian Textiles was born with Anavila. Over the last few years Anavila has created a design vocabulary that is contemporary and on-the-go-chic. Understated elegance that is not overtly embellished is what makes our sarees different. One can choose from a range of exquisite cottons and silks and linen sarees, lovely hand crafted which respect the environment and nature, while remaining true to the craft and the creator. Following fair trade practices and constantly working on improving the life of our artisans is important to us.

My first linen sari began here, in Shantipur. It marked not only the origin of the brand, but the quiet, parallel evolution of the weaver alongside it. Each time I travelled to the village in West Bengal to review developments on the loom, I stayed with Sarkar’s family, a home gently held together by the many footprints of women.⁣
⁣
The tin roof of their home carried the etchings of those stays- the soft fall of leaves, the persistent song of crickets, the low hum of a modest table fan through the night. Over time, these became familiar sounds of fieldwork, folding themselves into the rhythm of making.⁣
⁣
There is a file I return to; its sheets yellowed, edges gently crumbling at the corners, carrying age the way old cloth holds its folds. Within it live my earliest drawings: design notes worked out with the weavers, tentative scribbles of development, fragments of colour. Ink and paper quiet, the most potent creators of identity. Tying, connecting, knotting one thought to the next, one season to the one before it.⁣
⁣
This is where the brand began to find its hands.⁣

Gifting, perhaps, is one of the quiet ways in which we remember each other.
A small thought carried home.
Something picked while thinking of a familiar laugh, a favourite colour, or simply the person who makes life feel a little more like home.
Because celebrations have always been made of these things—the people we gather with, the laughter we share, and the small gestures that say I thought of you.

This season, we invite you to discover La Fête—a collection of gifts thoughtfully chosen for the people with whom we share our lives.
Pieces made with care, for moments of giving, gathering and celebrating.

Available at our stores and on our website, surrounded by the warmth of marigolds and the familiar joy of the festive season.

Our spaces slowly taking on the colours of the season.

Draped in festive warmth, with the earthy scent of marigolds in the air and little corners thoughtfully put together for the days of celebration ahead.

Marigolds find their way through our stores, hanging softly, gathering in corners, and bringing with them the familiar joy of a season we know through laughter, sharing, flowers and togetherness.

With the festivities around the corner, we are putting together beautiful gift ideas for you and your loved ones, little things chosen to be shared, remembered and cherished.

We invite you to our spaces, to wander through the colours, textures and stories, and find something special for the people who make your world.

There is an old story of Midas, a king whose touch could turn everything to gold.

He wished for gold, and was granted his wish. Until, in his joy, he touched his own daughter.

It is said that this story of the golden touch gave the marigold one of its many associations with gold, especially after Nathaniel Hawthorne’s *The Golden Touch* in 1851.

But the story of the marigold is more than that, the flower crossed oceans and, sometime around 350 years ago, found its way to India through the Portuguese and European maritime routes. And here, it found something more than new soil. It found belonging.

It adapted to our seasons, our rituals, our celebrations and our ways of worship so naturally that today, it is almost easy to forget that the genda was not native to India.

Somewhere along the way, it became a temple flower. A festive flower. A flower strung into torans, offered in prayer, carried into homes and woven into the everyday rituals of life.

Perhaps that is what makes the marigold so beautiful. It travelled a long way to become something that feels as though it has always belonged here.

As the festive season arrives, we wanted to celebrate this familiar flower in our own little way.

A simple installation of genda at our Mehrauli store, bringing together colour, memory, ritual and the quiet abundance of the season.

When we live far from home, we carry seeds. And slowly we begin to plant a garden. Only this garden is made of people, not trees. People who, like trees, have their own underground ways of finding you. They know when to reach out, when to nourish, when to bring a little sunshine, rain or oxygen into your world. They give you roots when we feel untethered. They give you branches to lean on. And together, you create a wild little place where you can be strange, be entirely yourself and believe in impossible things.

Maybe that’s what we carry with us. A little bit of home. A little bit of everywhere we’ve been. And, if we’re lucky, a whole garden of people.

Traversal is life for some people. Starting over then is an act of flow and of trust, in oneself and the universe- that it will show up for you in the best possible way. For Sita Sunar this is made manifest in the people she gathers into her orbit: artists, dreamers, makers, neighbours, strangers who became friends, and friends who became family. They make up the mini universe she carries with her, held together beyond geography by generosity, warmth and belonging.

In 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲, we celebrate the people we meet, the friendships we keep, and the families we find along the way.

Living Indigenous Traditions | Paris

An evening celebrating our enduring association with indigenous craft and artisanal traditions, in conversation with artist Sujata Bajaj. Our heartfelt thanks to Sujata for opening her home to us and co-hosting this gathering, where we celebrated conversations around tribal art and the communities that continue to nurture it.

we celebrated conversations this i dont like very much

Sujata Bajaj belongs to that rare generation of Indian artists who absorbed the language of modernism without ever relinquishing the memory of their own soil. Mentored by S.H. Raza her life has unfolded across Jaipur, Pune, Norway, Paris and the Middle East, yet the emotional and spiritual centre of her inspiration has remained steadfastly Indian. Long before tribal art entered the contemporary discourse, she spent six years travelling and living in some of India’s remotest tribal regions, immersing herself in their visual languages, cosmologies and rituals; a journey that culminated in her doctoral research on Indian tribal art. This encounter with indigenous worlds, even today is a source that continues to animate her creativity. In those worlds, she says, one feels an underlying force which is both ancient and startlingly alive. Sujata’s canvases do not merely depict colour; they radiate it, charged with a primeval, strong energy.
