HOW IT STARTED?

The story of Ambiya is of sheer zeal & determination it derived from the Sanskrit Word, आंबा; the King of Fruits. For the longest time, we buried our souls into ancient textile traditions to bring you something pure, premium & forever in vogue. Our toil finally bore fruit with Ambiya, where timeless traditional techniques met modern sensibilities and style. It is said that the greatest things happen when you least expect them. It happened one day travelling through Sanganer, a quaint little town known as a popular hub of craft worksho ps,textile prints, block printing and handmade paper in the majestic state of Rajasthan. Ambiya is a result of relentless pursuit for exquisite creativity in design.

WHO STARTED?

More than anything it was a calling to contribute. In that exact moment when AMBIYA was given birth to; a brand that answered our calling; an initiative by us, Shilpi & Lavanya. Today AMBIYA is more than a fashion house, it’s a platform that caters to Home & Living, Decor Items, Clothing & Accessories.

The backbone of the company will always be our artisans. We decided to break the routine monotony of a hustling work culture, myself Shilpi being on the Designing Grid for the longest time & Lavanya being in the Marketing Field.

Someone has rightly said, the job of the artist is to deepen the mystery. At the crux of our respective careers, we found ourselves contemplating the mere reason behind our existence & what was it is that we as individuals were giving back to the society?
