About Us
AGAATI derived from the Sanskrit word Agati means "Origin", arrival or arising. For us this translated to the emergence of a passionate brand with a purpose-to serve our clients with beautifully handcrafted eco-artisanal designs.
At the heart of AGAATI is the celebration of women as exquisite, bold, and nurturing beautiful beings. We see ourselves as beyond just fashion; we are about emotions, community, creativity, craft and self-love. We believe our garments are vibrant and alive, expressions of the many emotions and moods that women experience. Our designs reflect individuality while fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
We thank you for being here and welcome you to discover timeless designs and versatile pieces consciously designed for year-round wear. Our clothing is crafted to be multi-occasional, making dressing up enjoyable, while embracing the essence of elegance. Wearing AGAATI is not just about donning garments; it's an expression of your inner self, a celebration of the unique, of yourself!
Makers and artisans

Our approach of sustainably sourcing
Natural Fibres
We use natural, breathable fibres like organic cotton, silk, and wool, with nearly half our designs featuring hand-woven textiles.
Zero Waste Design
We create timeless garments by upcycling fabric scraps and surplus materials, reducing waste through thoughtful design and resourcefulness.
Non-Toxic Dyes
Our dyeing avoids harmful chemicals, using azo-free and natural dyes to achieve safe, vibrant colors without toxic impact.
Responsible Vegan Approach
Avoiding leather and fur, we source humane wool and silk, balancing sustainability and material quality as we explore vegan options.
Designer
Hello and welcome to AGAATI World. I am Saloni, founder and creative head of AGAATI and grateful for your time in being here! I would love to share a little about my journey. I am a native of the Himalayas and lived and travelled across various continents, which has been a key source of my inspiration and influence. Growing up surrounded by purity of nature, diverse culture, music, vibrant textiles and bold colors have all been embraced in my creative process.
I was fortunate to graduate from Parsons, The New School, got trained in couture and ready-to-wear and my knowledge got further enhanced after training at reputed fashion houses such as Oscar De La Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and Naeem Khan. I have been chasing my dreams for 14 years now, designing women’s ready-to-wear collections that are narratives of nature, culture and people. Feels like yestertday!
