Twenty-five years ago, in a quiet Kathmandu workshop, our family started weaving an idea into reality. Arihant Collection began in 1999 with a simple belief: that true luxury is made by hand, with love and integrity.
Today, as a second-generation family atelier, we create handcrafted cashmere textiles that grace homes and wardrobes across the globe. From boutique hotels in California to private yachts on the Mediterranean, our throws, blankets, and scarves carry with them a piece of our heritage.
What makes an Arihant piece unmistakable? It might be the whisper-light softness of the cashmere, sourced ethically from Himalayan highlands. It could be the intricate weaves, each pattern a tribute to Nepali artistry. Or perhaps it’s the personal touch: the knowledge that a skilled artisan, not a machine, guided every thread on its journey to becoming a blanket or shawl.
We take pride not just in what we make, but how we make it. Our workshop is a lively sanctuary of looms and laughter, where master weavers pass down techniques through generations. Every member of our team is part of the Arihant family, and each creation reflects their dedication. No child labor, no harsh chemicals, just pure, honest craftsmanship.
Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to partner with those who share our passion for quality: interior designers seeking the perfect throw for a client’s space, boutique owners curating one-of-a-kind textiles, and individuals who simply love the charm of something made by hand. Every collaboration inspires us to innovate while staying true to our roots.
Who We Are
Artisans, dreamers, and custodians of a rich weaving tradition. “Arihant” means conqueror of obstacles, and for us it symbolizes overcoming challenges to keep a precious art alive. In an age of mass production, we remain delightfully old-school: weaving each item thread by thread, as our forefathers did, albeit with designs that suit modern tastes.
Our Logo - A Woven Story
Our emblem, a stylized ‘A’ unfurling into a needle and looped thread, quietly speaks to who we are. The sharp lines and soft curves in our logo mirror our philosophy: precision and softness, structure and fluidity, tradition and innovation. Just like our textiles, the logo was crafted by hand – a subtle reminder that every detail matters.
What Sets Us Apart
We know you have many choices for cashmere today. Arihant Collection stands out through a blend of qualities that is exceedingly rare:
Certified Purity: We use only OEKO-TEX® certified cashmere yarns, luxuriously soft and free from harmful substances. This ensures our textiles are as gentle on your skin as they are on the environment.
Ethically Handwoven: Each piece is made start-to-finish in our Kathmandu workshop. We uphold fair trade principles, empowering adult artisans with equitable wages and safe, respectful working conditions.
Bespoke Craftsmanship: With over 180 shades of cashmere, dozens of weaves, and customizable sizes, we offer a level of personalization that mass-produced brands cannot. Whether it’s a custom color match or a unique pattern, we tailor our craft to your vision.
Trusted Globally: For over two decades, we’ve been quietly serving a discerning clientele. Our textiles have found homes in Europe and the U.S., beloved by those who value understated luxury. We export directly from Nepal to your doorstep, bridging continents with craftsmanship.
Our commitment is to the “slow luxury” movement, creating fewer, better things. We don’t aim to be the biggest, just among the best at what we do. Every Arihant item is an invitation to experience the profound comfort of something made with care. We’re excited to share our heritage with you, one handwoven thread at a time.
