From Narangii to The Sootee — a journey woven with intention.
Before The Sootee, we spent nearly eight years building Narangii, a brand that helped us understand what our customers truly value — fabrics that breathe, silhouettes that move with ease, and stories that feel personal. Through countless conversations, exhibitions, and fittings, we learned not just what people wear — but why they wear it.
The Sootee was born out of that learning, and out of friendship.
We're Kushal and Saket — co-founders and longtime collaborators. One of us comes from the world of learning and storytelling, the other from code and systems. Neither of us are trained designers — but we bring with us a shared aesthetic, a strong sense of purpose, and a quiet determination to build better.
At our core, we believe fashion can be meaningful — not just seasonal. Sootee is our way of weaving intention into every thread, and slowing things down in a world that’s moving too fast.
