Sanjay Garg laid the foundations of Raw Mango in 2008, and forever redefined the meaning of luxury Indian wear, building a strong base for local textiles and sustainable fashion. The brand takes its inspiration from different philosophies, art, and cultures of India and marries that with handloom silk apparel that embodies simplicity, elegance, and luxury, developed by karigars across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Varanasi. If you love sarees and Indian wear in general, then you know that the fabric makes the greatest difference, and Raw Mango's collection is not only stellar with its design sensibilities but places importance on fabric and techniques at the center. And we understand that investing in their truly ethereal clothes isn't something you can do every day (if only), but when you finally save up and do, here are some of your favourites that should be on your radar for your 'treat yourself' shopping spree.

Our pick is this beautiful pale blue Varanasi silk brocade odhani that features geometrical patterns filled with floral motifs inspired by the papier-mâché technique. You can style this with tone-on-tone separates to match the pale blue colour or introduce simplicity to the look with a crisp white shirt and palazzos.
