Banjanan

Banjanan, derived from the Hindi word “Banjaran”, means ‘bohemian’, ‘nomad’, ‘wanderer’, ‘traveler’ or ‘roamer’. Based in Jaipur, the capital of India’s majestic state of Rajasthan, Banjanan is a clothing brand dedicated to supporting and sustaining its local textile community. With skilled craftsman in India as partners, every piece in the collection draws on their unique expertise and generations of experience. The result is a collection of hand made embroidery and prints impossible to recreate by machine. Modern Heirlooms! All Banjanan products are embroidered, printed and produced within a 5-kilometer radius and designed to roam the world.  

We love this brand for its beautiful dresses, tops and skirts in lightweight fabrics or embroidered velvets in flattering styles. Items such as these are available at Shopbop and Banjanan.com.
