Introducing

The Founders

Founded by Ashish Satyavrat Sahu, Johargram was conceptualised with the aim of uplifting the lifestyle and livelihood of the traditional Jharkhand weavers, going local and bringing the traditional Jharkhand crafts and textiles into mainstream fashion. Ashish found entire weaver communities of Jharkhand in dire need of employment through design intervention. His passion for handloom and design led him to a unique idea of uplifting local crafts through a streetweart label so as to make it more mainstream. Johargram has done just that. Labelled as one of the top sustainable brands to watch out for by Vogue India, this people and process friendly brand is only just getting started.

Crafted in Jharkhand, India

Meet the Makers

The Process

The brand works directly with the weaver communities at the yarn sourcing stage itself to provide inputs to tweak the weaves while maintaining the integrity of the technique intact. They weaver community is at the forefront for the brand as is documented across their social platforms and brand messaging.
