Our Story
Our Story: Celebrating Tradition, Empowering Artisans
At Roohi, we don’t just create clothing — we weave stories, traditions, and dreams into
every piece. Our journey began with a deep-rooted passion for reviving the timeless art of hand-block printing and a commitment to empowering the artisans who carry this legacyforward. Every saree and dress in our collection is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a tribute to the skilled artisans of India, whose hands have been perfecting this intricate craft for generations.
Hand-block printing is a labor of love, requiring patience, precision, and an unwavering
attention to detail. Each design is carefully hand-carved into wooden blocks, and then the blocks are used to imprint beautiful patterns onto fabric, using natural dyes. This art form isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about preserving a cultural heritage, and at Roohi, we are honored to keep that tradition alive, one block at a time.
Empowering Artisans: Crafting a Better Future
Behind every saree and dress is a community of artisans, each with their own story, skills,
and dreams. At Roohi, we are proud to work closely with hundreds of artisans from rural
and underserved regions of India. By providing them with fair wages, sustainable work, and opportunities for skill development, we are not only helping to preserve this ancient art but also creating real, lasting change in their lives.
Our artisans, many of whom are women, are the heart and soul of our brand. Through our collaborations, they are able to support their families, send their children to school, and gain a sense of empowerment and financial independence. With every saree and dress that you wear, you’re helping these artisans flourish, ensuring that their craft remains alive for future generations.
Sustainability and Ethical Practices
At Roohi, we are committed to sustainable and ethical practices that respect both the
environment and the people who create our garments. The natural dyes we use are eco-
friendly, ensuring that our clothing is as gentle on the planet as it is on the skin. Each piece is crafted with care, using high-quality, sustainable fabrics that not only highlight the beauty of hand-block printing but also contribute to a cleaner, greener world.
We believe in creating fashion that lasts — both in terms of style and impact. Our garments are designed to be timeless, allowing you to carry a piece of India’s heritage wherever you go, all while knowing that your purchase supports a community of artisans working to better their lives.
