Raw Mango

Raw Mango draws from the colours, philosophies and cultures of India to create a unique voice, questioning place and perspective through design. With roots in craft and community, its relationship with handloom began in 2008 as an investigation of possibilities.

As a leading Indian design house it continues to create new conversations in textile and culture through a range of saris, garments and objects. Created with weavers across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Varanasi, textiles and designs innovate upon century old skills in pursuit of defining a new aesthetic vocabulary.

Designer Sanjay Garg emerged from an upbringing in the village of Mubarikpur, Rajasthan.  As a student of textile design, he developed his unique language working in the region of Chanderi, in Madhya Pradesh. Garg undertook innovations within the yarn and weaving process to create a new visual vocabulary and weaving interventions which, over a decade later, visually define Chanderi today. 

A commitment to experimentation underpins his process, with further explorations in Mashru, Benarasi and Ikat. Always informed by India, Garg constantly engages with established rubric to imagine new possibilities.
