Fabindia Roma
Two Roman designers, a shared passion for textiles and design. Our world of colours and prints.
Our Story
Two Worlds, One Thread
We design contemporary styles in Italy for clothing and home textiles, crafted by our artisanal unit in India.
Every garment springs from the meeting of our love for clean lines and a textile tradition that has been perfecting the art of hand-printing for centuries. The result: pieces that carry something authentic — the trace of a craft still passed from master to apprentice.
From the silkworm to spinning, to weaving, to dyeing, to designing, to the hand-carved wooden block, from the sample to the tailor, to the block printer. Dozens of hands. And at the end, each garment tells a story that is impossible to replicate.

The Heritage
A Timeless Archive of Designs
Behind every collection lies a vast archive of designs gathered through years of research — from the Mughal courts to the bazaars of Rajasthan, from English botanical gardens to Mediterranean geometries.
Every motif has a story: flowers recalling Mughal gardens, geometries inspired by the architectures of Jaipur and Agra, patterns born from the observation of nature and Indian daily life.
Our Work
Our artisanal unit in India is where we work alongside tailors, sample, develop new prints and oversee every stage of production. It is a place of dialogue between Italian design and Indian craftsmanship.
No two prints are ever identical — every subtle variation in colour intensity, block pressure and pigment quantity is the hallmark of the artisan’s hand and what makes each piece unique.
We love using quilting, a stitching technique rooted in the Eastern tradition.
Quilted fabric can be made by hand or with small sewing machines and requires skill, time and patience. The tailors insert cotton padding of varying thickness between two layers of fabric to give it body.
Reversible jackets, colourful waistcoats, quilts, bags and cases are examples of how we use quilted fabric.
We also use the ancient Kantha technique — visible hand-stitching — to make bedspreads and table covers.
The Designers
Sibilla and Lara
Two different paths — architecture and fashion — converging in the same passion: creating garments that carry a piece of India’s beauty into everyday life.
Colour, the Heart of Our Design
Colour is the key word. Each season we choose a palette that speaks of light, earth, nature and spice — tones that emerge naturally from the dyes used in Indian artisanal printing.
Our Vision
Style, Colour and Contemporary Design
For us, every collection is a journey — through museums, textile archives, gardens and architectures that inspire us. A journey that begins in Rome and arrives in India, where skilled hands translate our designs into fabric.
Our design is contemporary and clean: essential lines that showcase the beauty of the fabric and the print, without unnecessary excess. It is the fabric that speaks — we simply give it the right shape.
