Founder’s Note
To Do More With Less
The idea for Himêya came to me at a time of questioning my own choices. I was looking for ways to engage with the world that spoke directly to my purpose in it.
Through this introspection, I realized that unity with our environment helps us experience life more fully, and was compelled to create something that provides for a universe of better rest and care, with nurture and nature at its core. More importantly, to explore conscious manufacturing alternatives that are kinder to Earth.
Himêya is more than a bedding and bath brand — it is a lifestyle that reminds us to remain grounded, to cherish and respect each other, and our planet. The soul and spirit of Himêya is about living with less, to find more; to discover balance in our everyday.
Making different choices takes confidence; yet what gives an idea language and dimension is resonance. With uncompromising passion, I share Himêya’s and my story with a sincere desire for its purpose to become greater than my own.

Our Roots
The Himatsingka Group
Himêya is an offering of the Himatsingka Group, a textile leader with a presence across Asia, Europe and North America. Vertically integrated in manufacturing, retailing and distribution, our portfolio carries some of the most prestigious wholesale and retail brands across geographies. Family owned since 1985, from pioneering global cotton mapping capabilities to our state-of-the-art mills in India, we embrace sustainable technology through ethical sourcing and conscious manufacturing.
Ethically Sourced
From Farm to Home
Purity down to a science.Our revolutionary Track & Trace technology ensures that the authenticity of our cotton is monitored and tested at every stage, assuring only the highest-quality fibres reach our mills.
Our integrated cotton DNA authentication platform incorporates a physical molecular tracer combined with fibre typing. Together these technologies preserve the integrity of the cotton fibre at its precise point of origin – tracking the date, time, place as well as the social and environmental practices used to produce the cotton.
Before our cotton leaves the gin, it is tagged with an invisible molecular marker that allows us to track every fibre with a signature that cannot be removed, withstanding even washes and bleaching.
Monitored through all stages of spinning, weaving and sewing, the Himatsingka mark is an assurance of purity and quality: natural, durable, secure and incredibly unique.
Knowing how our bedding is made, lends new meaning to the definition of a well-made bed – a revelation Himêya is delighted to share with you.
Conscious Manufacturing
Rigorous Processes, Zero Waste
A mindset, above all. Over the last three decades, the Himatsingka Group has been focused on cementing a vertically integrated model from fibre to shelf. Leveraging automation, a responsible shop floor culture and virtual platforms has had a transformational impact on productivity.
Most rewarding has been our investment in sustainable technology:
Ethical sourcing is accomplished through Track & Trace capabilities across the cotton value chain.
From spinning to weaving, dyeing, processing and finishing, Our Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) ETP plant, for example, ensures recycling of 99.1% of the water used in our manufacturing.
Our path-breaking spinning unit in Hassan, Karnataka, is the world’s largest Spinning plant under one roof, with an installed capacity of over 2,11,584 spindles.
We have commenced initial production at our new Terry Towel facility. The plant has an installed capacity of 25,000 tons per annum.
Rigorous processes, founded on deep research and development, is the cornerstone of Himatsingka’s approach, and builds transparency across all levels.
We believe in going the extra mile with sustainable measures and are forever evolving. Introducing our all-new eco-friendly packaging made with 100% natural- neutral cotton fabric embellished with our signature cotton bud. A perfect reuse-repurpose solution that is elegant and natural. Our inserts too are made from 100% recycled FSC certified paper.
While all our bags are meant for keeps, our warm and soft flannel blankets and our semul pillows go the extra mile with repurposed packaging.
