FAQ

We Started in 2019 as a drop shipping business. Within a month we came to know that this is not our cup of tea. So we decided to develop our own brand.

We started researching to do something in sustainable clothing with minimal design but high quality. We talked to manufacturer in the country. Finally we zeroed down to one and placed our orders. This is the way full fledged Himkar brand is born.

We are working hard to become a leading sustainable brand in India.

Actual origin of our brand name remains a secret. But we were looking for a simple name which is easy to remember and not too long to pronounce. Later our team developed a story around brand name.

A highly breathable fabric.However actual origin of the brand name is still a secret. 😀 😀
