Founder - Studio Beej

Her Story

I started Beej in January 2020 after spending 18+ years in the corporate world. For the past few years, I have been increasingly conscious as well as concerned about the ongoing climate crisis. I started with smaller personal lifestyle shifts and I knew I wanted to do something in that space.

Beej was born out of my single belief that style and sustainability can and must co-exist. As a brand it's our vision to make conscious consumption a mainstream fashion choice.

Very early on Beej got incubated as a part of a Niti Aayog program and in early 2021 became a part of an UNDP program where selected women let start-ups were mentored for scale.

Most of our materials are plant-based leather alternatives sourced from various parts of the globe. We chose our materials for their low environmental impact and well as their versatility to be designed into gorgeous accessories.
