Crow

What Crow does

World of Crow (legal entity: world of crow LLC) is a US-domiciled, women-led independent women's apparel brand founded in 2011 by designer Shaila Khubchandani. The company designs and sells sustainable, handcrafted clothing for conscious consumers, with product categories spanning dresses, skirts, tops, shirts, bottoms, jackets, sweaters, cashmere, stoles, bandanas, and accessories. Pricing on the DTC site ranges from approximately $55 for accessories to $510 for sweaters, with most core pieces in the $189-$495 band.

The underlying production model is built on artisanal textile techniques — 100% hand-woven cotton, linen, wool, and silk; traditional hand block printing; Jamdani weaving (some garments requiring 10+ days of weaving alone); and natural or azo-free dyes. All garments are made to order at the company's own workshop in Ahmedabad, India, staffed by a team of 20-25 artisans (Karigars and weavers), with partnerships to fair-trade organizations and NGOs for sourcing. The US entity operates a Shopify-powered DTC storefront from Roseland, NJ, with a warehouse in New Jersey for US tariff-free fulfillment, while distribution extends to 60+ retail stockists across the US, UK, Spain, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Australia.

The business generates revenue through three primary motions: one-time DTC e-commerce sales; wholesale/bulk orders of 30+ pieces to boutiques worldwide via DHL with bank-transfer terms; and a high-touch World of Crow Bespoke custom-tailoring service configured via phone consultation. Additional revenue comes from digital gift cards ($50-$500 denominations) and recurring seasonal and Special Edition capsule collections (collaborations with designers such as Jessie Mordine Young, Erica Kim, Meredith, and Thela). The company has no disclosed institutional funding, no M&A activity, and operates with a small team of approximately 13 US-based staff, supplemented by its India-based artisan workforce and regional sales agents in Europe and the US. Sustainability positioning is reinforced through carbon offset partnerships with Ecologi (since November 2021) and Native.eco.
