Join us in celebrating the beauty of Madras fabric and timeless tradition of Indian craftsmanship. With Summer Madras, it’s never too early to start shopping for your next sunny getaway. The world is brighter when you’re wearing it in color.
Founded by Ridhi Agarwal, Summer Madras was born from her love of the vibrant colors and rich textile heritage of her hometown, Chennai, India.
"Chennai is hot nearly all year round, growing up my wardrobe was entirely summer clothes. I learned early on the importance of lightweight fabrics that keep you cool and comfortable. Combining that with a love of color and adventure, Summer Madras aims to embody the joy and anticipation of a warm summer."
Our pride lies in the process of bringing these designs to life
We believe in clothing that is made to last as we see firsthand just how much work goes into crafting each garment (one of our goals is to bring you along on as much of this journey as we can). From start to finish, we manufacture every garment in our vertical production facility in the Madras (now called Chennai) region. This allows us to oversee every step—from weaving the fabric to the final stitch ensuring quality craftsmanship that’s true to our roots.

Fabric-tionary
Our fabric of choice? Madras fabric. A timeless material known for its breathability, comfort, and ability to withstand the intense heat of year-round sunshine, it’s the perfect choice for lightweight summer clothing. Madras fabric inspired us through its simplicity in fiber –100% cotton - and complexity in color. We carried this inspiration into our other two fabrications using 100% linen and 100% cotton in a finer weave to create a buttery soft voile carrying through the bright colors and patterns that are at the core of everything we do at Summer Madras. Each piece is designed to be versatile, lightweight, and travel-friendly, making it easy to pack, wear, and love for years to come.
