How would you imagine a meet-cute between two incredibly stylish and talented fashion designers? Jagvir Matharoo and Martino Caramia met in Mumbai over a decade ago, at a fashion week cocktail party. The two found love instantly—their shared interest for design, architecture, culture and fashion culminating in a business relationship many years later.

Caramia, south Italian with German roots, spent his formative years in Europe and the United States working in fashion. 15 years ago, his love for all things Indian—its culture, textiles, and architecture—brought him to Goa, which he calls home now. Matharoo, meanwhile, comes from a fashion background: he studied at NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) and worked in Mumbai at an esteemed fashion house, with offices in Europe and India, for almost a decade before moving to Goa.
