Meet Our block printer

JAVED MOHAMMAD

Every craft has Master behind it, and for me, that is Mohammad Javed.

With over 30 years of experience in hand block printing, his patience, precision, and eye for color have taught me that craftsmanship is built one print at a time. Watching him work is a reminder that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.

Honored to learn from and work along side artisans like Javed Mohammad, who continue to keep this beautiful craft alive.

FOUNDER OF A RIVER

MAHAK NYATI

Hi, I am Mahak Nyati, the shy human behind A RIVER.

A Textile Designer, NIFT Gandhinagar graduate, born in India and now weaving threads of story across continents. Since 2019, I've been quietly building this dream, a studio shaped by the people, places, and textures that flowed into my life.

It started with a simple curiosity, A path that unraveled into art. I'd convert the photographs from travels into textile designs, and slowly, that became a product line, a collection, a home.

I always dreamed of creating beautiful home textiles that feels like a memory you never want to let go of. And here I am!

"something from my home, to yours"
