Our Inspiration

The global nomad

Our muse is the global nomad - a bohemian soul who sees the interconnectedness of all things, appreciates the beauty of diverse cultures, and is comfortable in her skin. We’re inspired by her ethos, and thrive on crafting high-quality boho clothing that’s unique, comfortable, and truly beautiful.

We’re endlessly inspired by vibrant cultures across the world, and love combining boho-chic styles with traditional patterns and western silhouettes. From stunning hand-embellished boho dresses, embroidered kaftans to tribal beaded sandals, each piece is a work of art that you can wear.

Our design team is inspired by ancient art forms from diverse cultures and incorporates traditional motifs, embellishments, and threadwork into our garments, with stunning results. To us, God is in the details, and it’s these intricate elements that make a garment truly special.

How It All Began

A&B is the brainchild of the Indian-born, Michigan-based sibling duo, Parul and Mohit Juneja. Born in a family that’s been in the textile designing and manufacturing business across three generations, the Junejas built upon this priceless know-how, and combined global sensibilities with their Indian roots to nurture the A&B philosophy.

The duo experimented with blending contemporary western fashion aesthetics with the quintessentially bohemian elements of tribal Indian art forms, with gorgeous results. Each A&B garment and accessory bears this unique fingerprint. This passion to offer beautiful, artisan-made boho clothing to the world gave birth to the A&B brand.

A&B is a family-owned business that is a labor of love, with Parul and Mohit personally involved in overseeing all the crucial aspects of the brand - from designing, production, to marketing and beyond. They work hand-in-hand with their team of artisans, and patrons, to continually evolve their designs, patterns and create fresh, new collections.

Our Values

Committed to Fair Trade Practices From the Ground Up

We are wholeheartedly committed to fair trade practices and sustainable fashion. This philosophy, often used as a catchphrase in the industry, is at the heart of all our decisions and drives all A&B processes - from designing, nurturing our team, production, and all the way to recycling and waste management.

Sustainable Fashion

With the power to create, comes the power to create responsibly. At A&B, the process of creation matters as much as the end result, and we’re passionate about creating sustainably made garments that are beautiful and built to last.

We’re exceptionally devoted to minimizing our environmental footprint in every way possible. This is why we’ve adopted eco-conscious methods of production. This philosophy drives our earliest stages of creation (conceptualizing, designing) and is carried forward until the very last (recycling, disposal management).

We lay a heavy focus on choosing natural fabrics and sustainable materials during the designing process. In our catalog, you will find a beautifully diverse selection of garments and accessories made with natural materials such as jute, pure cotton, and handwoven jacquard.

We make sure to use our beautiful fabrics in every way possible, and not throw away leftover materials after garment production. We upcycle our leftover fabrics in ingenious ways and transform them into stunning rugs, pouches, coin bags, and other beautiful accessories. This not only makes sure that we creatively use our leftover materials, but also massively reduces waste and lessens the load on landfills.

Responsible Use Of Precious Resources

We take every step possible to reduce our environmental footprint, and a key aspect of it is using water judiciously throughout our production process. We have an elaborate rainwater harvesting setup and a specialized wastewater filtration plant that has helped us in drastically reduce our water usage.
