About Us
Old Marigold is a women apparel, home decor and stationery brand working exclusively in handcrafted products made by local Indian artisans. Every product crafted is 100% sustainable and abides by the principles of conscious and zero waste living.
At Old marigold, our constant endeavour is to celebrate India, its rich culture and heritage and to create products, which are not only visually appealing but also practical to use.
Old Marigold is for women who are unabashedly themselves. Women who are strong yet feminine. Who move from casual to out on the town, with a minimum of fuss. Who stand out in a crowd without trying.Free flowing fabrics in natural fibres and signature prints are cleverly tailored to flatter the body in a soft meets hard design approach. Classic shapes and silhouettes draw inspiration from the iconic fashions of the past eras, skill-fully infused with a modern twist and cutting edge cool to be current yet timeless.
Aspirational yet attainable, Old Marigold is about moving you from beach to bar; from city to weekend retreat and from your lounger to your friend's wedding celebration with free-flowing ease. Versatility is key. Every piece translates occasions and seasons, created to last with meticulous detail.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Inspired by journeys across India, our philosophy remains simple: we make products that are designed to last, are sustainable, inspired by natural design and materials, and influenced by the culture we grew up in.
We are forever learning and implementing innovative products and practices for our people and planet - the mission to empower our consumer with positive purchase decisions.
Handmade, sewn and screen printed by neighborhood creatives, our designs transcend time for a garment with true longevity. Quality, ready to wear pieces for you, your sister, mother and future generation. Styles to love, loan, re-discover and repair for a truly circular lifecycle here on planet Earth. This will never change.
Our additional made to order model promises minimal waste
and we are working hard to repurpose all offcuts into similarly
versatile pieces for the current lifestyle code.
We will continue to uplift the community around us with support of local artisans and ethical trade practices.
Giving back is a core value and we are passionate about investing into the wellbeing of women who need it most. We recognise there is always room for improvement and will continue to explore new possibilities for change.
