About Ahimsa Rose
In 2021, I decided to become vegan. During my journey, I learnt that I need to do more than just eat vegan food to contribute towards protecting, respecting and being kinder to the world we live in.
I love clothes like many and as a South Asian, especially Indo Western wear. Over the years, I've struggled to find Indo Western clothing which I enjoy wearing and is produced ethically and sustainably.
Ahimsa Rose was created with a mission to produce an Indo Western collection which aligns with our values and still makes you feel beautiful. You don't have to be vegan to wear our clothes but if you care about the world we live in and love Indo Western clothing too, join us on our journey to make a positive change to the fashion industry.
Together we can embrace South Asian fashion without compromising on ethics and sustainability the best we can.
