Indian weaves, textiles, and prints are a treasure trove of creativity, each with a tale behind it. We celebrate this diversity at Indyvarna by incorporating such heritage art forms into power dressing that meets modern professional needs. Some examples of how we infuse rich Indian weaves and heritage in our collections are:

The technique is highly complex in the sense that the yarn is dyed beforehand and then woven into the product. This gives Ikat fabrics the unique, geometric designs with resist-dyed colors. Telangana and Bihar regionics are sourced for blazers, pantsuits, co-ords, and dresses. Inherent from the workwear Ikat creates an era of time spent once you put it on, this centuries-old Indian craft will be subtly carried.
