About Us

Clothing made to be lived in

Ryan Libas began with a simple conviction: that the everyday deserves the same care we usually reserve for occasions. We make Indian ethnic wear — kurtas, sarees, lehengas, dupattas and tunics — for people who want their clothes to feel considered without feeling precious.

Rooted in the handloom

Every piece in our collection begins on a loom. We work with weaving clusters across India and choose chanderi, linen blends, silk blends, rayon and cotton for the way they move, breathe and age. Buying closer to the loom means fewer hands between the weaver and you — fairer returns for the people doing the work, and honest pricing for the person wearing it.

Handloom carries small irregularities: a slub in the weave, a hairline shift in a motif, a subtle variation in dye. These are not defects. They are the record of a person at a loom, and they are the reason no two pieces are ever quite identical.

How we work

  • Small runs, not warehouses. We produce in limited quantities rather than stockpiling. It keeps the collection considered and our waste low.
  • Checked by hand. Every garment is inspected for stitching, finish and colourfastness before it is folded and packed.
  • Priced honestly. No inflated list price struck through to manufacture a discount. The price you see is what we believe the garment is worth.
  • Described accurately. Fabric, fit, measurements and care are listed on every product page — a return nobody wanted helps nobody.

On fabric, colour and care

Natural fibres behave differently from synthetics. Colour can vary a little between a screen and daylight, and a first gentle wash often softens a fabric's hand. The care instructions on each product page are written for that specific fabric, and following them is the single best thing you can do for the life of the garment.

Our promise

If something arrives and it isn't right — the fit, the fabric, the colour — tell us. Our Shipping & Returns policy is written to be used, not survived. And if you would rather ask before you buy, we would much prefer to help you choose well once than sell to you twice.
