HOUSE OF ITIHĀSA

ABOUT

House of Itihāsa

Itihāsa is the Sanskrit word for the epics. It means, roughly, so it was. These are not stories we were taught once and set aside. They stayed: in how we speak, what we name our children, what we reach for when things get hard.

VANA is our first collection, drawn from the Rāmāyaṇa. Each piece holds a single moment, a chapter, not the whole epic. One word on the front. The moment on the back, in a single line with one point of vermilion. Quiet enough to wear every day. Clear enough to be asked about.

Every piece is made in India, in heavy cotton, garment washed to soften with wear. The Rāmāyaṇa is where we begin. There are more epics, and more moments, still to come.

Stories that stayed.
