Our story

Avenoir (n.)

The desire to see memories in advance — to know, as you dress, that today might be one you'll want to remember.

Clothes That
Hold On to Moments

Avenoir began in a two-room studio in Mumbai with a single coat and a simple belief: the clothes we love most are the ones we were wearing when something happened — a first job, a wedding, a walk in the rain we still think about.

So we design slowly. We source natural fibres from mills we know by name, cut in small batches, and finish every seam by hand. Nothing is made to be replaced next season. Everything is made to be remembered.

“We don't make clothes for every day. We make clothes for the days you'll still talk about in twenty years.”

Our Values

Natural Fibres

Natural Fibres

96% of what we make is silk, linen, wool, cashmere, cotton or leather — fibres that breathe, age gracefully and return to the earth.

Small Batches

Small Batches

We cut in runs of 200 or fewer. Less waste, more care, and pieces you won't see on everyone else.

Hand-Finished

Hand-Finished

Pick-stitched lapels, hand-sewn buttons and hand-rolled hems — the details that make a garment last decades.

Lifetime Care

Lifetime Care

Free repairs for the life of every coat and leather piece. Send it home to the atelier and we'll make it new again.
