Our Makers: Garima

Garima

Garima and her team are a family-run business, established in 2000 by Garima and her husband Darshan. They specialise in beautiful, hand-crafted garments showcasing traditional Indian embroidery techniques in natural and sustainable fabrics. We have been working with Garima and her team for nearly four years, first making our much-loved Amber Fox embroidered velvet jackets. Since then, their skilful makers and artisans have made our Stevie, Poeme and hand crocheted Delilah collections. From roof-top office veggie gardens to partnering with local not-for-profit groups working to support women entering the workforce, Garima and her team share our passion and vision for reducing our footprint on the planet through consciously crafted garments. Garima is audited annually by Sedex.
