01 — About the house
Not a store.
A living archive of India.
Born in a Jaipur haveli in 1998, The Indian Collection began as a three-loom workshop saving Banarasi kadhua weave. Today we partner directly with weavers, dyers, embroiderers and silversmiths — no middlemen, GI-tagged authenticity, and lifetime care.
78% of every order goes to artisan families. QR on each piece shows loom, village and maker name.
Silk Mark, GI tags, hallmarked gold & 92.5 silver. Lab reports with bridal orders.
Two brothers revive kadhua jangla in Varanasi.
Kanchipuram, Chanderi and Kutch join the family.
Digital museum + traceable craft passport launch.
Manifesto
“Every thread has a grandmother’s memory. We don’t sell fabric — we return heirlooms to families.”
— Meera Rathore, Founder & Creative Director
