OUR STORY
Inspired by the rich heritage of Odisha Handloom, RAAS was born out of pure passion and love for Odisha handloom and the purity of our craftsmanship. RAAS is a conscious effort by the founder Rashmi Mohapatra to add value to the richness of our art and the efforts of our weavers with exclusive designs. Every piece is lovingly hand woven and handcrafted by our local Indian artisans who represent a lineage of creators, bringing their expertise to our innovative designs that are ethnic yet contemporary.
"Every collection of RAAS is handmade with utmost love & care"
She could identify a visible gap in the design and creative elements within the Odisha handloom space. Most of the handloom creations have followed a typical set of design styles over decades. With Raas, Rashmi wanted to contemporise handloom designs embracing modern trends and patterns.
Started in 2014, within a short period of time, RAAS carved a niche for itself and became one of the choicest brands among handloom lovers in Odisha, India & overseas.

Pratibha Ray, eminent writer, Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri & Jnanpith laureate wears a rare Ikat handloom specially designed by Raas. The renowned writer beautifully embodies Odisha's rich textile heritage, each thread a testament to her profound connection with Raas's endeavor to preserve the timeless art of our ancestors.
High quality product, exceptionally good designs. Designer Pritam Panda has very good taste. Highly recommended for every woman who want everyone to ask where they shopped their attire from.

Raas has wrapped me in its beautiful weave of silk and pattern from day one and I look forward to watching the Odisha handloom reach great heights...and of course own more of sarees.

I saw RAAS scarves and stoles at a trade fair. I was amazed at the intricacy of the design and the lush feel of silk and soft cotton. I made a bulk order to UK. Nothing could be easier.

I love that they put a modern spin on the traditional weaves of Odisha. The colors, weaves and patterns are offbeat, unique and very contemporary. Love my Raas Sarees and I am waiting for my next trip.

"Raas" is the most creative experimentation ever with "Ikat". Its fabulous in design, contemporary and importantly socially impacting by virtue of direct involvement with weavers.
