A house of 108.
क"We started Karm 108 because we couldn't find a single t-shirt that made us feel rooted and modern at once."
For too long, Indian heritage motifs lived only in our grandmother's wardrobes — never on the bodies of the people building India today. KARM 108 is a small rebellion. A streetwear house that refuses to choose between Krishna's flute and Kanye's drops.
Every garment is co-designed with master artisans across India — Raghurajpur, Madhubani, Srikalahasti, Bagru, Shahpura. We pay fair wages, credit the maker by name, and number every piece out of 108.
Slow fashion. Folk art. Modern devotion. Ancient tales. Modern threads.
Why 108?
108 is the most repeated number in Indian thought. It threads through our mantras, our medicine, our cosmology — and now, our cotton. It is, quite literally, how Bhārat counts the universe.
Mala beads

"One mala, one drop, one universe — counted to 108."
