Original Madras Trading Company

Original Madras Trading Company is a family-run business founded in the early 1970s, when the founder arrived in New York City with a trunk of Madras checks and established roots in the garment district. Still operating from the same offices, the company supplies fabrics and garments from southern India to leading global brands. Its handloom project honors the heritage of Madras cloth, highlighting the deep cultural connection between India and the United States through exclusively handwoven clothing.
