Our story

A UK studio and an Indian factory,
stitched together by craft.

Indies exists because the best fashion is made when Western design sensibility meets deep manufacturing craft. Our London team obsesses over fits, fabrics and brand experience; our Indian teams turn those ideas into millions of garments each year — beautifully, ethically, on time.
