About Us

ETHICAL MANUFACTURING

Honoring Makers, Culture, and Craft

Studio Camala is an ethical, eco-conscious design and manufacturing studio based in Bangalore, dedicated to supporting slow-made fashion. We aim to meet the production needs of designers who value sustainability and mindful creation.

Our team is composed of women from diverse cultural backgrounds, united by a shared mission — to preserve, celebrate, and revitalize India’s rich textile heritage through collaborative design, responsible manufacturing, and meaningful knowledge exchange.

Our Flexible Approach

At Studio Camala, we believe in the equal exchange of knowledge and complete transparency throughout the production journey. We encourage open communication with designers and regularly share photos and videos of the process, offering full visibility into each stage of garment construction.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We know that great products emerge from the seamless partnership between designers and skilled artisans. Our expert team — including masters, pattern makers, cutters, seamstresses, and embroiderers — is deeply committed to bringing every designer’s vision to life with precision and care.

Studio Camala is more than just a production space — it’s a space for connection. We welcome designers to work closely with our team, contributing their creativity while we offer our expertise in sampling, pattern making, fabric sourcing, embroidery, and stitching. We also collaborate with trusted partners for natural dyeing, block printing, packaging, labels, and fabric scrap repurposing to deliver a holistic and sustainable manufacturing experience.

Our Intentions & Commitments

Empowering Women

We believe that when a woman is empowered, her entire family rises with her. Through work, growth, and purpose, these women gain the confidence to dream, support their children’s aspirations, and become changemakers in their communities.

Staff Welfare

we support the dreams and growth of every team member. With a 5-day workweek (9 AM – 6 PM) and no overtime stress, we prioritize well-being, balance, and purpose. From design to development, our decisions are made together — because we believe that everyone on our team has the skill, insight, and vision to lead.

Zero Waste

To support a circular economy and reduce waste, we collaborate with a social enterprise that transforms our fabric scraps into handmade paper and paper products.

Mindful Production

We support designers in producing intentionally and avoiding overproduction. With no minimum order requirements, we offer small to medium-scale manufacturing.

Health

100% of our staff is covered under comprehensive health insurance plans.

Happiness

Our work empowers families — all our employees can now provide education for their children.

Success

Through fair wages and steady employment, 50% of our staff have become proud homeowners.

The Story Behind

Studio Camala

Studio Camala was founded by Shivangi and Sambhav in February 2017 beside a quiet lakeside in Bangalore — with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between designers and ethical manufacturing, while creating meaningful livelihoods for underprivileged women through training, skill-building, and employment.

Driven by the desire to make responsible production more accessible, she has built a social enterprise that now collaborates closely with over 20 designers worldwide, guiding them from concept to final garment through an intentional and transparent process.
