Sanjay Garg

Textile designer, Sanjay Garg, has been credited with the revival of Chanderi textiles from Madhya Pradesh, brocades from Varanasi and soft cottons from West Bengal, through his label Raw Mango, a brand of contemporary Indian hand-woven textiles crafted using traditional techniques. Originally from Rajasthan, he has grown-up with many craft traditions around him since childhood, and he has tried to bring about an appreciation of these in his collections and professional life. Raw Mango is not just about design and colour but whose mission of preservation and regeneration in India permanently employs over 250 skilled workers. Raw Mango has adapted traditional designs to make them simple, sophisticated and distinctly contemporary, thereby creating a fresh new aesthetic that is both indigenous and modern.
