Our Company
Studio Variously is an award-winning sustainable textile design studio based in Michigan, creating artisan-made home textiles, scarves, and thoughtfully crafted lifestyle goods through long-term partnerships with artisan communities in India, Nepal, and Peru.
Every collection is originally designed in our Michigan studio and produced in small batches using responsibly sourced natural fibers, including linen, silk, cashmere, merino wool, and organic cotton. Our range includes handwoven throws, artisan scarves, handcrafted rugs, pillows, bedding, table linens, journals, and thoughtful gifts that blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Rather than following seasonal trends, we create timeless textiles designed to be lived with and cherished for years. By combining original design, transparent sourcing, and heritage textile techniques, Studio Variously offers a meaningful alternative to mass-produced home décor and fashion accessories—celebrating human-centered artistry, mindful living, and enduring quality.
Impact With Scale
At Studio Variously, we believe the future of design is thoughtful, transparent, and deeply human. Through small-batch production, heritage craftsmanship, and responsibly sourced natural materials, we create timeless textiles that celebrate artisan traditions and inspire mindful living.
We build long-term, direct partnerships with artisan communities across India, Nepal, and Peru through fair and transparent production practices. Our collections are handcrafted by 3rd and 4th generation master weavers, dyers, hand spinners, and stitchers—many of them women—helping preserve heritage craftsmanship while creating timeless contemporary textiles.
We believe cultural preservation begins with collaboration. By working directly with artisan communities, we help preserve heritage textile techniques while thoughtfully evolving them through contemporary design. Every collection celebrates craftsmanship, cultural stories, and timeless textiles created for modern living.
