ĀROKA is where light meets form. Derived from the Sanskrit word for “light shining through woven cloth”, the brand celebrates femininity, individuality, and character. Under the vision of Shweta Agarwal, luxurious fabrics are transformed into sculpted, artful silhouettes. Precision and artisanal mastery are skilfully juxtaposed with modern design.
Every creation honours the body it adorns, inviting authenticity. Founded in 2019, the brand collaborates with master artisans from across India to craft collections defined by care, and timeless elegance.
ĀROKA reimagines occasionwear as a language of self-expression. Each silhouette reflects timeless artistry and presence.
Founder’s Biography
Born in 1992 and raised in Mumbai, Shweta Agarwal’s formative years were shaped by her mother’s impeccable style, her grandmother’s artisanal finesse, and the textured world of her grandfather’s textile factory. These early encounters with art and fabric inspired her pursuit of fashion design at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni in Milan.
In 2019, Shweta founded ĀROKA. Her work is defined by refined patterns, lightness, and the artful manipulation of textiles - each piece a quiet reflection of skill and intention. Committed to ethical craftsmanship, she collaborates with master artisans across India, preserving traditional techniques while sharing them with a global audience.
ĀROKA has been featured in Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other leading publications, and is now available in select multi-designer stores across India, the USA, UK, Bahrain, and Singapore.
