Zhaviah Clothing

The label is a reflection of Founder and Designer Kartik Zhaviah Dada's personal ethos of sustainable living and minimalism. He began his journey in the industry at the age of seventeen, working with a Turkmen seamstress who mentored him for a year. Thereafter, he moved to Paris, where he studied fashion design and worked with several international designers and brands.

Following his graduation, Kartik embarked on a transformative journey that took him to Barcelona, designing garments for the fast fashion market. Seeking continuous growth, he moved to Bangladesh, to work closely with factories. It was during this period that he witnessed firsthand the detrimental environmental impact of the fast fashion industry. Considering this adverse impact on the environment, Kartik redirected his efforts towards promoting sustainability in fashion. Meanwhile, he worked with the United Nations Environment Program as a Digital Marketing Associate, dedicating himself to promoting initiatives that foster a more sustainable future and universal brotherhood.

In November 2023, Kartik founded Zhaviah Studio with the ultimate goal of promoting sustainability and supporting the artisanal community in India. He aims to provide these artisans with a platform that can grant them the global recognition they truly deserve.
