ABOUT KARIVANI

Karivani was born from a simple yet powerful belief—that artisans deserve to be seen, heard and celebrated.

Rooted in a legacy that began in 1950 with Naval Kishore & Bros, an iconic Janpath establishment known globally for Indian handcrafted textiles, Karivani carries forward decades of trust, craftsmanship and cultural knowledge.

While our roots lie in history, our vision looks forward.

Karivani is an ode by the next generation—created to give Indian craft a place in a rapidly changing world. Every piece we create reflects the synergy between tradition and modernity.

OUR MISSION

To preserve, promote and elevate Indian craftsmanship by creating a global platform where skill and design are valued.

We aim to build sustainable practices, honour traditional techniques and ensure that quality and cultural relevance remain meaningful in the modern world.

OUR HERITAGE

Our journey began over eight decades ago in the heart of Janpath, New Delhi—a cultural crossroads known for authentic Indian craft.

From a single iconic store recognised by travellers from around the world, we have grown into custodians of a legacy built on integrity, quality and deep respect for craft. Continuity has always defined us, both in the work we do and in the people who have upheld Karivani’s values over decades.

Karivani is not a reinvention—it is a continuation.

Made in India, Always

We work closely with artisan clusters across the country, ensuring fair practices, ethical sourcing and long‑term relationships.

Every Karivani creation is designed, sourced and crafted entirely in India.

Our products are made with care, carrying the influence of India’s rich heritageo and design traditions.
