Vina Ahuja – Akashi Clothing
From an early age, Vina Ahuja was drawn to the world of textiles – the rhythms of weaving, the depth of natural dyes, and the quiet mastery found in India’s rural craft traditions. Years spent engaging closely with village artisans and weavers shaped her deep respect for their skill and heritage. Over the next two decades, this passion evolved into a focused journey within home and wearable textiles, rooted in collaboration rather than commerce alone. Vina’s work has always centred on empowering artisans – preserving traditional techniques while reimagining them for contemporary life.
This philosophy led to the birth of Akashi – a brand defined by simplicity, elegance, and thoughtful design. At its heart lies a belief in textiles that are distinctive yet versatile, crafted to move effortlessly across occasions while honouring the hands and stories behind them.
