Translate Ikat India is a design-led label built entirely around one of India’s most complex textile traditions — Pochampally Ikat.
Founded by Vinita Passary, the brand has spent over a decade working with artisan communities to ensure that Ikat is not reduced to a seasonal trend, but remains a living, evolving design language.
Each piece begins at the yarn stage — where threads are resist-dyed before being woven into fabric, creating the signature blurred geometry that defines Ikat. The process is both technical and time-intensive, requiring the coordination of multiple skilled hands.
Translate’s approach is not nostalgic. The silhouettes are contemporary, the construction is precise, and the garments are designed for longevity — clothing that moves with the wearer and exists beyond occasion.
It is one of the few Indian labels entirely committed to Ikat — not as a reference, but as a foundation.
