Our Story

Keeping the tradition alive since 1950's

 

For almost eight decades our family has been proudly printing and creating magnificent textiles. It all started with our ancestors being color masters at a small factory and a keen interest in understanding of how handblocks work, in Kutch, Gujarat. And so the name follows, BANANA or बनाना as in to 'make' in Hindi. 

"Crafting Connections between the wearer and the artisan."

Our journey has been rewarding, we’ve been part of happy customers memories, you, iconic fashion moments and a community. It has been an honour serving this community, creating exquisite hand block timeless pieces for our clients in India as well as abroad. 

As we gradually moved into the era of technology, we realized that handblock printing is a dying art. The art wasn’t being recognized enough.

Our passion for Indian culture and this tradition has stood the test of times. BANANA labs, with its modern and contemporary twist, while retaining the authenticity of the craft, is a luxurious yet affordable brand.
