About the Founder: Shanta Azalea Venkatesh (BombayMami)

Shanta Azalea Venkatesh, known as BombayMami, entered the fashion world through a rich blend of cultural and creative experiences. As an artist and visionary, Shanta’s journey is deeply rooted in her love for traditional Indian aesthetics, intertwined with modern sensibilities. Her extensive travels and connection to two distinct cultures are reflected in the thoughtful duality that defines Shava.

Growing up between two worlds, Shanta embraced the beauty and intricacies of both, which led her to create Shava—a label that seamlessly unites community and contemporary style. Her deep respect for craft and tradition, paired with a modern design approach, is what makes Shava truly unique.

Shanta’s creative vision for Shava mirrors her personal journey. Through her music and fashion, she encourages wearers to embrace both comfort and self-expression. Each piece is more than just clothing—it’s a testament to her belief in community and the power of fashion to bring people together.
