Terratai Designs is the creation of two lifelong friends and passionate fashion designers, Rohini Suri and Esha John, who together bring over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry. As mothers in their 40s, they each share a journey marked by creativity, resilience, and a deep commitment to “meaningful “design.
The story of Terratai began over 15 years ago in Chennai, where Rohini and Esha met as colleagues and built a friendship that would endure life’s twists and turns. Despite moving to different cities — Esha to Bangalore and Rohini to pursue her career in garment export across international markets — the two stayed close.
Esha’s path led her to a world of bespoke kids-wear, baking, and interior styling, creating a beautiful home life that fueled her creative instincts. Meanwhile, Rohini’s role as a creative director for a domestic brand and then Head of Design for a garment export firm took her around the globe, sharpening her eye and fueling her dream of one day launching a women’s wear brand in India.
When Rohini relocated to Bangalore during the pandemic, destiny reunited them and rekindled their shared vision. In a time of uncertainty, the pair found inspiration, diving into brainstorming, prototyping, and endless conversations about what it means to design for women like themselves — multitasking mothers who strive to balance life’s many roles while staying true to their unique style and ambitions not just for themselves but their families and home environment.
Thus, Terratai Designs was born.
With a unique expertise in transforming rental spaces into welcoming, family-friendly environments, our mission is to bring comfort and style to every space we touch.
