About Us

A Story woven across two worlds

Founded in 2014 by Yuka Ishitake and Dr. Vivek Chaturvedy, Artisav Jaipur was built on a simple conviction: that India's indigenous textiles are among the most extraordinary in the world and that the artisans behind them deserve global recognition.

Yuka brought 18 years of experience in the international luxury industry and Tokyo sensibility and Vivek brought his indian roots and a lifetime of journeying across India, Identifying master craftsman across the length and breadth of India. Together they compliment perfectly and add soul to the brand.

ARTISAN STORIES TO TELL

WHAT WE STAND FOR

The Artisav Way

Craft first

Every piece begins with the artisan - their technique, their region, their story. Design follows craft, never the other way around.

Contemporary soul

Traditional skills reimagined for everyday modern life. Wearable, liveable, quietly beautiful - a neo-retro aesthetic with real comfort.

Living heritage

We work with awarded artisans whose communities depend on their crafts. Each collaboration is an act of preservation.

The hands behind every thread

Our collections feature handwoven and handcrafted textiles woven across India - each technique a centuries-old practice, each piece one-of-a-kind by nature.

"An initiative to promote the talents who live to craft and craft to live."

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PURPOSE

Our founders

Yuka Ishitake

CREATIVE DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER

Born in Tokyo, Yuka first visited India in
2007 and has split her life between the
two countries ever since. Drawing on 18
years in international luxury fashion, she
channels a refined Japanese design eye
into every Artisav collection.

Dr Vivek Chaturvedy

Creative Visionary & Co-Founder

A Jaipur native and dentist by training,
Vivek's travels across India revealed a
quiet crisis - gifted artisans abandoning
their crafts for urban livelihoods. His
mission became championing these
communities globally.
