About Thread And Loom:


Born in California. Inspired by the World. Hand made in India.


Thread&Loom was born when Gargi Agrawal stepped away from her decade long career in corporate fashion first in New York and then Los Angeles for a recharging and inspiring journey of six months. Volunteering as a designer for Awamaki, an NGO based in the Peruvian city of Ollantaytambo, she was able to take lessons from the indigenous weavers in their two thousand year old art. A five week stop through the western coast of Portugal and south-west of Spain and she was back in India, left to be inspired by the dusty bright camel fairs of the Rajasthan desert.


It was here that a collaboration with hand-loom weavers, needlework artists and leather craftsmen resulted in the socially driven brand of Thread & Loom. We like to play with unexpected ways of using traditional crafts and techniques. Sunny at heart and essentially urban, each style is thoughtfully designed and carefully constructed with the utmost care,  always paying fair wages to our craftsmen.
