Raw Mango draws from the colors, philosophies and cultures of India to create a unique voice, questioning place and perspective through design. With roots in craft and community, Raw Mango's relationship with handloom began in 2008 as an investigation of possibilities. As a design house it continues to create new conversations within textile, tradition and identity through a range of saris, garments and objects. Created with karigars across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Varanasi, Raw Mango's designs innovate upon century old skills in pursuit of defining a new aesthetic vocabulary.
Growing up in the village of Mubarikpur, Rajasthan - designer Sanjay Garg's appreciation for aesthetics began with the sensibilities of rural India. His unique textile language was realized through his work in Chanderi, enabled by the Textile Ministry and weavers of Madhya Pradesh. Committed to experimentation, he constantly engages with established rubric to imagine new possibilities. His innovations are grounded in tradition and suffused with opinions rooted in India's dynamic cultural and political landscape. An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Craft & Design, and the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Garg is a vocal textile advocate whose designs have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and at the Victoria & Albert Museum (London).
