Inspired by the Journey:

sarwat murtaza - founder of the brand ethimaart ltd

Our Founder: Sarwat Murtaza

 

This passion wasn't always a business plan. Sarwat, our founder, discovered it during a life-changing internship with an NGO in Pakistan while studying Textile Design. Surrounded by talented artisans who were creating incredible handcrafted pieces. Their skills, their stories, and their struggles deeply touched her and that's when she knew, she wanted to bridge the gap between them and the world.

To share their amazing work, and help their communities thrive. she dreamed of connecting their talent with the world and empowering their communities.

This dream fueled her journey – from honing her textile design skills to earning a full scholarship in Fashion Business Creation, in London.

London opened her eyes to the global market, but her heart remained with the artisans back home. This was her chance to turn her dreams into reality.

That's how Ethimaart was born!
