The India of Threads, Textures, and Time

What we offer is not a tour. It is an immersion into India’s centuries-old design vocabulary—led by those who still live it, breathe it, and shape its future.
These aren’t demonstrations for tourists. They are conversations between equals—makers and travellers—woven together in studios, ateliers, homes, and off-the-map towns.
With over 30 years in the Indian craft and textile space, we bring unmatched access to master artisans, emerging designers, private collectors, and community enterprises. Whether you are a buyer looking for sourcing insight, a researcher mapping traditions, or a traveller seeking stories that touch the soul—our trails will give you a front-row seat to India’s design heartland.

From handloom clusters in Odisha and quilt makers in Kachchh to zero-waste fashion labels in Rajasthan and artist residencies in rural Bengal, each journey is a living canvas of heritage, sustainability, and innovation.
This isn’t just travel. It’s a crafted experience. And there’s no one else in India who brings a domain expertise the way we do.


Each experience is shaped through trust, relationship capital, and the belief that India is best understood through the people who shape it. From Bengal to Kerala, Punjab to Gujarat, our journeys are crafted with deep local connections.
They uplift artisan communities, revive traditions, and create meaningful linkages between trade and craft. It’s not just about what you see. It’s about what you help sustain.
India in every thread is an exploration of India’s textile heartland through private archives, master workshops, and design-led trails that span Odisha, Bengal, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and beyond. Perfect for cultural travellers, researchers, buyers, and design schools.


“ We don’t sell India. We reveal it—layer by layer, like a handwoven textile. Every journey We curate is deeply personal, designed to take discerning travelers and trade professionals beyond the surface, into the very warp and weft of India’s lived traditions “.
