Khatau Fabrics
India's cloth. Since 1874.
Shreenath Traders is the commercial entity through which Khatau Fabrics reaches the market — handling all wholesale, export, and direct buyer relationships from Mumbai.
While Khatau Fabrics is the manufacturer and the heritage, Shreenath Traders is the market presence — built on the same standard, upheld over 150 years.
The heart of the Khatau range since 1874. Cotton, silk, and voile sarees for wholesale and retail.
Lightweight sheer cotton — a Khatau speciality. Prized for softness and drape.
Traditional woven dhotis in fine cotton. Part of the Khatau range from the very beginning.
Plains, shirtings, and dress fabrics woven from long-staple Indian cotton.
Pure mulberry silk and tussar weaves — from crepe de chines to rich dupions.
Pure linen and linen-cotton blends for premium apparel and home furnishing.
Cotton-silk, cotton-modal, and linen-viscose blends for specific end-use performance.
Bespoke fabric development for labels, designers, and institutional buyers.
The loom turned through independence, partition, liberalisation, and globalisation — and kept turning.
In the heart of Byculla, Mumbai, Seth Khatau Makanji founds the Khatau Group — one of India's earliest textile businesses. Cotton cloth flows from the mill to a growing domestic market, building a name that will endure for generations.
Aparna Sunit Khatau leads Khatau Fabrics as Managing Director, continuing a family tradition in Indian textile manufacturing that stretches back to 1874. Under her stewardship, the company has expanded its export footprint while deepening its commitment to traditional weaving and sustainable sourcing.
Based in Mumbai, Aparna brings both an intimate knowledge of the craft and a clear view of where Indian textiles need to go — building on the Khatau name while positioning the business for a new generation of buyers and partners.
