Supporting traditional skills and craftsmanship

The whole process of Indoi is connected to craft, and celebrates the rich heritage of the Indus Valley, which has a rich artisan tradition and is known for its exquisite craftsmanship for millennia.

Each item is of exceptional quality, inspired by these women and crafted with the utmost care, so that you might share their story.

The raw silk is made in Pakistan, using hand-spun yarns. This technique yields very subtle imperfections and distinctions in each piece, which adds to the beauty and individuality of the fabric.

She is a master of  embroidery and pattern cutting, and it is in her workshop in Karachi that each piece is crafted. Indoi is rooted in this support and celebration of the women.
