Our Story

THE CURATOR

Tijori is a Philadelphia-based boutique born from a lifelong love for South Asian textiles and a commitment to circular fashion. Founded and curated by Janki Patel, every piece in our collection is a testament to the idea that style and heritage should be both accessible and intentional.

THE TREASURE CHEST

In Hindi, a Tijori is a safe or a treasure chest. Our boutique- housed in a thoughtfully converted garage-turned-atelier- is a physical manifestation of that name. We believe that Indian clothing isn't just a trend; it’s an expression of heritage and intent.

Our collection is a carefully balanced mix of:

  • Preloved & Vintage: Storied treasures given a second life to reduce environmental impact.
  • &Daughters Heritage: Our in-house jewelry line inspired by tribal ornamentation.
  • New & Independent Labels: Contemporary South Asian designs from emerging creators.
  • Deadstock & Consignment: Rare, unworn archival finds and community-sourced gems


HANDPICKED & PERSONAL

When you shop at Tijori, you are connecting with a personal curation process. From the initial handpicking of textiles to the final packaging and shipping, every step is handled by me. I strive to help you build a wardrobe that reflects your best creative self while being kind to the planet.
