Everyday essentials. Thoughtfully simple.
At GRAICOT, we believe the things we carry every day can reflect what matters to us: simplicity, usefulness, and a more mindful way of living.
We’re an Indian brand offering cotton tote bags and everyday accessories for people who appreciate natural textures, minimal design, and choosing reusable over disposable.
Made for your everyday
From a trip to the market to your daily essentials, a tote should feel easy to reach for and easy to make your own. Our approach is simple: practical shapes, an understated aesthetic, and the honest character of cotton.
Meet the Founders
Mrs. Sharadamma — The Foundation of Craftsmanship
Founder & Director
With more than five decades of experience in tailoring, stitching, clothing and design, Mrs. Sharadamma represents the heart and foundation of GRAICOT.
Her journey has been shaped by hands-on work, a deep understanding of fabrics, an eye for detail and a commitment to quality workmanship. For her, stitching is not merely about putting fabric together. It is about respecting the material and creating something useful with care and precision.
Her experience and practical knowledge continue to inspire GRAICOT’s approach to manufacturing and product quality.
Mrs. Roopa Shivaprasad — The Vision Behind the Brand
Co-Founder, Director & Brand Vision Lead
Building upon this foundation of craftsmanship, Mrs. Roopa Shivaprasad brought an entrepreneurial vision to GRAICOT.
With over a decade of experience in stitching and a strong interest in design, innovation and social responsibility, she envisioned a brand that could bring quality manufacturing together with a larger purpose.
Her vision goes beyond selling cotton bags. She believes manufacturing can create meaningful work opportunities, particularly for people who wish to contribute their skills while managing family responsibilities.
She sees GRAICOT as an opportunity to bring together traditional skills, modern business practices and a more responsible approach to everyday products.
Two Generations. One Shared Vision.
GRAICOT brings together decades of craftsmanship and a forward-looking entrepreneurial mindset. One founder brings the wisdom of experience and technical expertise. The other brings the vision to grow, innovate and create opportunities.
Together, they are building a business that values skilled workmanship, useful and reusable cotton products, and long-term relationships grounded in quality and trust. Their shared ambition is to encourage thoughtful everyday choices and create opportunities for people with stitching and manufacturing skills.
The meaning behind GRAICOT
The GRAI in our name stands for Gray, Recycled, Authentic, and Inherent. These words guide our brand’s outlook: finding beauty in simplicity, valuing resources, staying authentic, and appreciating the natural character of materials.
That outlook is our direction, not a claim that every product contains recycled material. Please refer to each product’s description for its specific fabric and details.
More Than a Business
For us, GRAICOT is about recognising everyday craftsmanship, making thoughtful product choices and building something that can grow while creating opportunities for others.
Meaningful change does not always begin with something extraordinary. Sometimes, it begins with a simple product, a useful idea and the determination to make a difference.
Our journey continues, one stitch, one bag and one meaningful step at a time.
