House of Ranjit was founded on a simple premise: the world's finest silks are still being woven, by hand, in the small workshops of India — and the people buying for the world's best boutiques deserve a direct line to them.
For three generations, the Singh family has held relationships across the silk-weaving regions of northern and southern India — from the Banarasi looms of Varanasi to the mulberry cooperatives of Karnataka.
In 2026, Ranjit Singh formalised those relationships into a single wholesale house, headquartered in Lorton, Virginia. The thesis was straightforward: bring American and European buyers a curated, transparent, fairly-priced channel to India's master weavers — without the four layers of agents that usually stand between them.
The name is a quiet homage to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, whose 19th-century court was draped in the finest silks of Punjab and Kashmir. We do not sell to courts. We sell to the boutiques, designers and hospitality groups who furnish the homes that matter.
A trading house is only as honest as the floor it sources from. These are the non-negotiables of the House of Ranjit network.
We pay weavers above the regional fair-trade benchmark, and we publish our cost structure to any retail partner who asks.
Every workshop signs our supplier code and submits to quarterly on-site audits by our India team.
Wherever a piece can be hand-woven, it is. Powerlooms are used only for high-volume sheeting where the weave is not a feature.
Every shipment is QC'd in our India warehouse. A neutral third-party (SGS or Bureau Veritas) tests a sample of every container.
Silk Mark India and India Handloom Brand Mark are in application. GOTS chain-of-custody is targeted for 2027.
Every piece carries a card with the region, the workshop and the master weaver's name. Provenance is part of the product.
Category, volume, target price, target lead time. A short email is enough.
