The Idea Behind Pachouli
Pachouli was born from a vision to preserve and celebrate India’s rich craft traditions while making them relevant for modern lifestyles. Rooted in the art of hand-block printing, the brand reflects authenticity, care, and a deep respect for artisanship.
Every piece at Pachouli is:
- Handcrafted with precision by artisans who have honed their skills over decades.
- Inspired by heritage yet designed with contemporary silhouettes.
- Made with natural dyes and premium fabrics, ensuring sustainability and comfort.
- Curated with care, offering apparel and home furnishings that feel timeless yet fresh.
Founder’s Journey – Namrata Rana
Namrata Rana carries forward Jaipur’s legacy with a modern, conscious vision. Working from the historic office of Maharani Gayatri Devi, she draws inspiration from the Maharani’s grace and dedication to the city.
Her journey is deeply rooted in her family’s heritage:
- Poornima Handicrafts, founded in 1971 by Ganesh Kumar Rana, became a global exporter of handcrafted apparel and home furnishings.
- In 2016, Namrata launched Pachouli, bringing this legacy home to India, making artisanal textiles accessible to a new generation.
For Namrata, Pachouli is not just a brand—it is a living tribute to Jaipur’s cultural heritage and the artisans who sustain it.
Craftsmanship & Community
At the heart of Pachouli is a dedicated community of artisans, many of whom have worked with the brand for over two decades. Their skill and precision breathe life into every creation. By supporting local craftsmanship, Pachouli sustains livelihoods while nurturing India’s cultural wealth.
The collections include:
- Apparel for men, women, and children – hand-block printed kurtas, robes, and dresses.
- Home furnishings – Jaipuri razais, quilts, table linens, and more.
- Ceramic treasures and lifestyle pieces – curated to reflect earthy luxury.

- Empowering artisans by creating sustainable opportunities.
- Celebrating heritage through designs that magnify India’s roots.
- Introducing textile traditions to younger generations in a modern, relatable way.
