Aarika's Closet

Sharing Indian heritage has been a major part of Kamini Patel's American experience growing up in the U.S. Aarika’s Closet is a company founded on the belief that culture should be shared. Cultural clothing is a way to participate and learn about traditions that have been maintained throughout generations and allows us to share their heritage with our children in addition to creating traditions of our own. Her girls, Aarohi and Riya, are the inspiration behind ‘A A R I K A.’ The excitement they have when they wear traditional clothing for events and holidays brings them closer to our culture and heritage. She always found herself looking for outfits for here kids, where she wouldn’t hear the words “it’s itchy” or "I don't want to wear it!" It was frustrating when the girls were never satisfied with the outfits that were carefully selected and gifted to them from grandparents and close family during trips to India. This company was created to solve a problem that many of us encounter as South Asian-Americans raising children in the States. Through this company I’m looking to bring comfort, joy, and style for South Asian kids & teens to the forefront of their cultural clothing experience. The ready to ship outfits are carefully selected and curated by Kamini in hopes that they bring your kids closer to their culture.
