Our sustainable and ethical business practices ensure that you can feel good about every step of the process that brings you Orvana apparel.
Thank you for supporting “slow fashion”.
Orvana’s handcrafted textiles are 100% pashmina, cotton, silk, and wool; this ensures our collections provide maximum comfort in every climate. Our expert team of Indian artisans hand weave, hand block print, and vegetable dye the one-of-a-kind patterns we’re proud to use in our products.
“My grandmother and mother developed my passion for textiles. I remember sitting in the living room in the Kashmir Valley, as weavers visited us to share the finest pashminas fresh off the loom. I remember their softness and intricacies, impossible to replicate by a machine. Through generations, we shared a trunk of beautiful cotton, wool and silks with a story woven into each piece. Orvana London embodies that memory of holding the beautiful textile in my hand, with the ability to wrap and design endless possibilities.”

“My heritage is my inspiration. Everything I create is driven by my passion for the natural world and the beauty of history. I’m so pleased that I’m able to share my culture’s authentic traditions with the Western world through wearable art. I’ve travelled a long way to make my dreams come true.”
