A slower way
to make a home.

{/* ── LEDE ─────────────────────────────── */}

Karavi began in a Jaipur studio, in a corner of a hand-block printer's atelier.

We were three people, then four. We had a loom on lease, a small dye yard, and a list of artisans we wanted to work with — properly, slowly, with their names on the label. Five years on, that list has grown to forty-two.

Every piece in the studio is dyed, woven, knotted or tufted by an artisan we have sat down with. We work in small batches because that is what the looms can hold. We work on natural fibres because they breathe. And we sign every piece, in the maker's hand, because every piece passes through one.

The studio itself is quiet — two rooms in an old merchant's haveli off the old city. The walls smell of indigo and dust. Some mornings there is a goat in the lane. This is the texture of the place that makes Karavi, and it is not incidental.
