Founded by Chinar Farooqui, Injiri—meaning ‘real India’—is named after the historic Madras checkered textiles traded to West Africa. Collaborating with master weavers across India, Injiri begins its process by studying antique textiles, where motifs and selvedges speak of geography and tradition. Inspired by the simple garments of farmers, it honors fabric as a slow-made, precious craft. Free from the fleeting grasp of trends, Injiri’scotton and silk dresses and scarves area quiet dialogue between past and present, where making is a journey, and the final piece, a timeless testament.
