About Us

Welcome to gava koda!

I'm Sanjana Ganti, the founder and designer of the brand. For as long as I can remember, fashion has been my happy place. It's where I've felt the most confident, creative, and comfortable in my own skin — and my goal is to create pieces that help you feel the same way.

Born and raised in sunny San Diego, I've always been drawn to light, breezy fabrics that feel effortless — but I love adding a touch of structure and elegance to elevate the everyday. That balance is at the heart of every piece I design.

I'm half Badaga and half Telugu. The name "gava koda" means "with love" in Badaga. From the first sketch to the final stitch, every piece is truly made with love, care, and intention.

All of our pieces are handmade in India. We value quality over quantity in order to create pieces that you'll reach for again and again. 

I'm so happy that you're here!

With love,

Sanjana
