Our Roots

At Dorji, our journey is deeply rooted in a respect for nature and a passion for preserving the art of traditional craftsmanship. Born from a vision to create beautiful, sustainable textiles, we bring to life garments that are as timeless as they are meaningful.

The Craftsmanship

Each piece begins with nature’s finest resources—organic fibers, plant-based dyes, and time-honored weaving techniques passed down through generations. Our skilled artisans pour their hearts and soul into every creation, ensuring that every thread tells a story of dedication, artistry, and care.

Our Founders

“We don’t use gloves while doing natural dyes. I love my hands soaking in whatever solution it is and to get that smell a whole day over and over again. Today is Horitoki day (myrobalan) and my hands smell like Horitoki. I just have able to love these. I love the stains that each of my T-shirt have, blue, green, yellow, brown. I wear them everyday All my small nails get the color of the dye and I literally flaunt them now.Somehow after days, months and years I have able to love these small things for my work and it gives me a good sleep.”
