"Being short (1.45m/ 4'9"), finding and purchasing well-made fitted clothing is a luxury, no matter the price point." - Arti Juglal (Founder & Creative Director)

Design

At House of Arti, we embrace a modern classic design philosophy, where timeless elegance meets refined craftsmanship. Our collections are thoughtfully curated to offer enduring, trans-seasonal pieces that blend function and sophistication. Each garment is designed with meticulous attention to detail, using only premium sustainable fabrics to ensure longevity and effortless style. We believe in creating a wardrobe that transcends trends, encouraging our customers to invest in pieces they can cherish for years, and even pass down through generations.

Modern Classic

Material

At House of Arti, sustainability is woven into the very fabric of our garments. We are committed to minimising our carbon footprint by sourcing 100% of our fabrics and yarns from the same location as the factories that produce our pieces. Currently, 95% of our materials are natural and biodegradable, reflecting our dedication to environmentally conscious fashion. Our ongoing goal is to incorporate preferred fibres - natural, organic, recycled, fast-renewing, or biodegradable - ensuring that our production processes contribute to a more sustainable and socially responsible future.

Commitment

At House of Arti, we believe that caring for our garments begins with caring for the people who craft them. We are dedicated to building long-lasting relationships with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to fair treatment, safe working conditions, and appropriate compensation for their workers. Before partnering with any manufacturer or supplier, we thoroughly review their company profiles and ethical manufacturing certifications to ensure they align with our values. Throughout the production process, we maintain transparency, receiving daily updates through images and videos from our partners, ensuring that each step in the making of our products reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence, transparency, and ethics.

Ethical

Community

At House of Arti, we cultivate a culture of inclusivity, positivity, and collaboration, where everyone feels valued and welcomed. Our community extends beyond our social media following, customers, employees, partners, suppliers, and the organizations and foundations we proudly support. Together, we are building a connected and supportive network, united by a shared commitment to excellence, ethical practices, and mutual respect.

Philanthropy

Throughout the year, House of Arti is proud to support various charities and non-governmental organizations across South Africa and Africa, all working towards creating a better world. Our contributions extend to initiatives such as local disaster relief programs and the Caring4Girls Foundation, reflecting our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we serve.

Inclusivity

At House of Arti, we are committed to fostering inclusivity in every aspect of our brand. We stand firmly against discrimination and celebrate the diversity of our community, drawing inspiration from the unique identities, experiences, and perspectives that shape it. As part of this commitment, we have expanded our sizing range to cater to extra-petite and petite women, ensuring that all our garments are designed with their needs in mind. Our campaigns and website exclusively feature petite models, and we have proudly promoted inclusivity on global platforms, such as New York Fashion Week, where we showcased our designs using only petite models. Through these efforts, we continue to advocate for greater representation and inclusivity in high fashion.
