Parigna Desai is a Mumbai-based textile designer and researcher working at the intersection of Indian craft traditions and contemporary sustainable practice. Educated at Parsons School of Design (BA Fashion Design) and Central Saint Martins (PG Certificate, Material Futures), she runs Pari Pari as a design and product development service for fashion and home, with a focus on Indian craft ecosystems, artisan collaboration, and conscious material sourcing.

The portfolio features a practice rooted in material experimentation - textured surface structures, craft-derived repeat patterns, and a restrained palette tied to natural processes and handwoven origins. Work references Indian textile traditions within a contemporary sustainable design vocabulary.

Trained in fashion design and material futures. Works with natural and heritage textiles including rose petal, lotus stem, and cotton (documented in the Lagom collaboration). Practice spans art direction, pattern development, and product design across fashion and home categories.
