ARTISANAL   TIMELESS   WEARABLE

THE STORY

Raga&Co, the brainchild of Sonali Salkar is inspired by the rich tapestry of Goa's vibrant culture and its significant Portuguese influences. Growing up in the quaint village of Khandepar, Sonali was captivated by the intricate Kunbi weave, a fascination that blossomed into a profound love for handcrafted textiles. This passion ignited her journey into the world of fashion in 1991, long before terms like "sustainable" and "organic" became the cornerstones of modern fashion.

From the outset, Sonali dedicated herself to creating clothing that marries
contemporary aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. Her motto is simple yet profound: to bring contemporary clothing to life through time-honored techniques.

As the years have gone by, Sonali's commitment to her craft resonated deeply with her daughters, Rama and Gayatri. Seeing the potential to amplify their mother's legacy and passion, they encouraged her to establish Raga&Co in 2020. This brand embodies the confluence of modern design and traditional artistry, rooted in the ethos of sustainability and respect for the artisans' craft.

FABRIC AND TECHNIQUES

Fabric is the corner stone of clothing, but at Raga&Co, fabrics hold a deeper story beyond what is visible. At Raga&Co, we take pride in using fabrics that are natural, either hand block printed or loom woven, making each piece uniquely imperfect. We celebrate the beauty of raw, handmade natural fabric, using cotton, linen, cotton silk, viscose and hemp, all contributing to our story. 

Every garment is lovingly hand made in our quaint studio located in Goa. We use techniques such as hand embroidery, patch work and hand painting to create beautiful, one of a kind – pieces.
