House of Lore was founded by Soumya Malviya and Supriya Agarwal, whose journey began at NIFT Mumbai, where they pursued textile design and discovered not just a shared academic path, but a deeply aligned creative vision. Rooted in a mutual appreciation for Indian textiles, their perspective was shaped by an understanding of craft, material, and the stories woven into every fabric. What started as a friendship gradually evolved into a shared intent — to build something that honors tradition while reimagining it for the present.

After gaining industry experience, both founders chose to step away from conventional paths to pursue a more meaningful direction. House of Lore was born out of this decision — a brand driven by sustainability, conscious design, and the ambition to take Indian textiles forward in a way that feels relevant, refined, and enduring.
