Founded in 1960 Fabindia started out as a home furnishings export company. The first Fabindia retail store was opened in Greater Kailash, New Delhi in 1976 and is still one of our flagship stores. By the early eighties, Fabindia was already known for garments made from handwoven and hand-printed fabrics.
The non-textile range was added in 2000, while organic foods, which formed a natural extension of Fabindia’s commitment to traditional techniques and skills, were added in 2004, with personal care products following in 2006. Handcrafted jewellery was introduced in 2008.
Today, with a pan-India presence, Fabindia is the largest private platform for products that derive from traditional crafts and knowledge. A large proportion of these is sourced from villages across India where the company works closely with the artisans, providing various inputs including design, quality control, access to finance, and raw materials. Encouraging good craftsmanship and supporting the communities that continue such traditions are central to Fabindia’s philosophy. Fabindia’s endeavour is to bring customers a choice of products – and lifestyle –that offers an alternative to the mass-produced while creating sustainable livelihoods in the rural sector.
Today, Fabindia has 211 retail stores across India, 2 stores in Singapore & Dubai, and Malaysia, and 1 store each in Italy, Nepal, and Mauritius. Fabindia Malaysia is a franchise of Fabindia and opened its doors in Malaysia in 2015, with the first store in Nu Sentral Mall. Fabindia Malaysia as the name suggests offers fabulous attire and products from India, redefining ethnic India with beautiful and attractive colours which bring joy and contentment to the eyes.
