About Me

Hi all, I am Karvishi, fashion and textile designer. I have been working in the fashion industry for more than a decade now and have done it all, from corporate to startups. In 2021, after having lived in Europe for almost 5 years, I noticed that while certain facets of South Asian culture such as wellness, mindfulness and cuisine were highly regarded and easily available, fashion was and is still often misunderstood and inaccessible. There is no true representation of South Asian brands and products in Europe.

I created Esoraa Studio with the intent of changing this narrative and spreading the message that South Asian Fashion is not just boho chic and definitely not low quality. Esoraa is making “MADE IN INDIA” products which are fairly produced, accessible to Europe while remaining true to my cultural heritage.

Now as a part of connecting to people directly and more intimately, I am starting this workshop series, where you can understand how your clothes are made, what are different kind of design techniques that have been there for centuries.

So join me and be part of this experience.
