About us

Karnam practice conscious and slow living, we emphasis minimum footprints in making our cloth, we craft our products with the very slow process while ensuring sustainability and local strength.

Karnam curates aesthetics around culture, history, and tradition, we work with weavers & artisans of India and create a timeless textile that is rooted in our soul. Which is timeless & season less & trend detached. 

We use high-quality hand-woven fabrics from West Bengal, Bhuj, Maheshwar, Rajasthan, and other parts of India. We work closely with our weaver communities and create beautiful naturally dyed, culturally inspired, and innovative hand-woven fabric in texture, motive, patterns, and blending the products with different fiber, keeping in mind zero waste, zero footprints, and upcycling.

Karnam celebrates a contemporized version of simplicity, comfort and timeless silhouette therefore our garments are made with careful craftsmanship. We are grateful to nature and culture.
