Why We Make Turbans: A Note from the Founders

Turbans are more than cloth — they are our identity, pride, and tradition. At Charkhi, we don’t just sell turbans — we craft heritage.

As the founders of Charkhi, we felt a calling to restore the dignity, comfort, and culture of Sikh turbans. Every turban we make is a tribute to the spirit of tradition and the people who wear it with pride — from the streets of Punjab to Sikh communities across the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, and beyond.

🌿 Our Mission: Preserving a Cultural Legacy

We started Charkhi with a simple yet powerful mission — to bring premium Sikh turbans, Punjabi pagdis, and traditional safas to people who value authenticity.

We grew up watching turbans being tied every morning — with devotion, pride, and care. But over time, we saw that high-quality turbans became harder to find. Fabrics were synthetic, colors faded quickly, and comfort was compromised.

That’s when we realized: the turban deserves better. And so does the person wearing it.

🧵 Why We Make Turbans at Charkhi

Every Charkhi turban is handpicked, handmade, and deeply personal. Here's what makes us different:

  • ✅ 100% Pure Voile Cotton Fabric – Lightweight, breathable, soft, and ideal for long wear.
  • ✅ Meter-wise Customization – From 4.5 to 8.5 meters, find the perfect length for your needs.
  • ✅ Vibrant, Fade-Resistant Colors – Each shade reflects cultural meaning and heritage.
  • ✅ Designed for Comfort – No itching, no heaviness. Just effortless grace.
  • ✅ Ready for All Occasions – From daily turbans to ceremonial pagdis & wedding safas.

Our turbans are not mass-produced. Every piece is carefully inspected and packed with love.
