The Heritage of Himroo
Originally created as a more accessible alternative to the heavy gold-and-silver Kinkhab brocades for the Mughal royalty, Himroo is a celebrated craft from Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar). Every bag is a tribute to this centuries-old technique where silk and cotton threads are interwoven on traditional handlooms to create a fabric that is both intricate and enduring.

Artisan Craftsmanship
Our bags are crafted using fabric woven by a dwindling community of master artisans. The designs often echo the grandeur of the Ajanta and Ellora cave paintings, featuring classic paisleys, floral creepers (bel), and geometric jaali patterns.
