Native Spirit India
Indian craft, made for contemporary life.
Native Spirit India was founded around a belief that Indian craft should not be kept at a distance — but worn, touched, made, and lived with.
The Founders
Athira T
Co-Founder · Design & Experience
A designer with roots in textiles and a career across product, experience and systems design. She trained in Textile Design at NIFT Bengaluru, working with Indian textiles, weavers and artisan communities before moving into experience and product design.
At Native Spirit she leads the intersection of design, brand, product and experience — not simply designing clothes, but designing how people encounter craft today.
A small number of considered pieces, from handwoven Chanderi cotton silk — clean lines, quiet colour, garments meant to be kept.
Through workshops, gatherings and pop-ups, we make ways to encounter craft beyond the finished object.
The object may leave with you. The experience should stay longer.
Rooted in craft. Designed for today.
