Founder's Story
Why I Started Karma Totes
At Karma Totes, my vision is to create fashion that feels good—for you, for the women who create it, and for the planet.
I have always been drawn to things that feel genuine — the rhythm of nature, the beauty of handmade work, and the silent strength of women who uphold families and communities, often without recognition.
After earning two master’s degrees, crossing two continents, and spending twenty years in the corporate world, I had built a life I was proud of. Yet quiet restlessness kept pulling at me, a desire for something more rooted, more personal.
In 2023, I returned to my hometown of Hyderabad, India. This move was not just a relocation, but a reconnection with something more profound: the Earth, the women I admired growing up, and the belief that meaningful work can also be beautiful.
I didn’t have a detailed business plan. I only had a simple vision - to create something authentic, handcrafted, eco-friendly, and empowering for the women who make it.
That’s how Karma Totes was born.
I’ll never forget observing one of our artisans stitch our first tote, noticing the careful precision of her needlework, the patience in her movements, and the quiet pride shining in her eyes. In that moment, I understood she wasn’t just making a bag; she was weaving her story into it.
Karma Totes has grown since then, but that first moment remains clear in my mind. It’s why I am committed to its ongoing journey. Every bag we send out into the world isn't just about the product inside, it's a small package of strength, dignity, and good karma going to a new home.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
