Our Story

We are a boutique brand that came alive in the heritage city of Benares with a promise of a legacy to lovingly create heirloom pieces of art and excellent craftsmanship.

For more than a century our family has been been working with weavers and craftsman from Benaras and showcasing a collection dipped in the true ancient crafts of the loom across the world. Over three decades ago Roliana launched as an offshoot of our century old family work and was emboldened by the fierce perseverance of our founders Roli Mehra and Vikash Mehra to reinvigorate and recreate the rightful place of handloom sarees and weaves for the global woman of today. Anahita Mehra our business head understood the necessity of taking the brand and our products global and has been the driving force in the journey of Roliana. 

Roli Mehra & Vikash Mehra

The fire of creativity that sparked the collections by Roliana have always had the unique expression by combining weaves with exquisite hand paintings or tie-die techniques or even zardozi embroideries and intricate chikankari embroideries. 

A classic Roliana would always showcase the breath-taking amalgamation of art by our handloom weavers and hand painters.

We at Roliana are also extremely proud of the fact that we are a women centric organisation with almost all key leadership roles being led by exemplary women along with a very strong women weaver community which is our backbone.

We believe in nurturing deep rooted relationships which reflect unwaveringly in each piece of handloom that we create. Our bond with our clients is more about personal connections rather than business and we pride ourselves in creating an everlasting thread of trust and fulfilment.

"Our commitment to help the weaver communities and weaver clusters is the main goal behind every decision we take as a brand." 

Standing strong with and for the dying art of the famed handloom industry, we pledge to continuously revive it bit by bit with a keen eye on the fabric and workmanship. The flow of the dupatta the undulating fall of a Saree with the exquisite colours of the Resham and zari dhaaga peeping through and the elegance of the colourful tassels finishing the edging of the pallu all contribute to make each Saree or fabric a collector’s delight to be lovingly worn and then passed to the next generation with pride.

We welcome you to be a part of our Roliana Family!
