The Story of House of Ambua: A Clean Fashion for a Clean Future
House of Ambua is a brand that respects both people and the planet—a brand where we promote Indian textiles and handlooms made through ethical production and minimal waste.
A passionate visual artist and educator with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Lalit Kala Mahavidyalay, our founder, Swati Dhayal, always had the vision of blending traditional and contemporary techniques. Over the years, she cultivated a unique artistic voice centered around nature, sustainability, culture, and identity.
Deeply moved by the environmental crisis in India—especially the unchecked use of polyester—she decided to take action. Through House of Ambua, she envisioned a world where we make a real difference by making thoughtful clothing and fashion choices.
And so, the brand began with a simple yet powerful realization—the future deserves better. In a world drowning in waste and pollution, where landfills overflow with synthetic fabrics that never decompose, the need for a conscious shift in fashion became impossible to ignore.
It wasn’t just about making clothes; it was about changing the way we choose them. Driven by a deep respect for the environment and a desire to combat the harmful effects of fast fashion, Swati channels her creative skills into designing eco-friendly, ethically produced garments.
At the heart of House of Ambua is an emphasis on the beauty of natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and minimal waste. The brand exclusively uses natural dyes and biodegradable, cruelty-free fabrics to create garments that are both luxurious and kind to the planet.
As an artist and advocate for sustainability, Swati is committed to educating others on the intersection of art, fashion, and environmentalism. Through House of Ambua, she seeks to inspire individuals to embrace slow fashion and live with greater intention—proving that style, creativity, and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.
"I have built this brand with the mission of 'A Clean Fashion for a Clean Future,' and I am determined to wholeheartedly promote respect for nature, responsibility in our actions, and innovation for a cleaner future through our brand, House of Ambua. So far, the journey has been nothing short of extremely rewarding and magical!"
