About Loveleen & Her Work
Who is Loveleen Saxena?
Loveleen Saxena is an artist, writer, and founder of LOVELEEN® — a Houston-based creative studio specializing in hand-drawn textiles, intentional living products, and slow morning wisdom. She left corporate work in 2016 and has been building a creative practice ever since, from a home studio in suburban Houston, Texas.
Where is LOVELEEN® based?
Katy, a suburb in Houston, Texas.
Her creative studio and home, where all products are designed, packed, and shipped. The backyard food forest and certified wildlife habitat serve as the creative reset space — some of the deepest insights have come from simply watching birds feast on sunflowers out there.
What does the brand LOVELEEN® sell?
LOVELEEN® is the creative brand and umbrella for everything Loveleen makes: wearable art like eco-friendly Lenzing Modal scarves, home textiles like organic cotton tea towels and table napkins, mantra-based products, original paintings, journals, and newer offerings like Morning Scribbles and the Slow Morning Collective. Everything is hand-drawn, made in small batches, and carries an intention. One tree is planted for each product you buy, in partnership with non-profit One Tree Planted.
What is the creative philosophy behind LOVELEEN®?
Surrounding yourself with beauty and intention changes things — slowly, quietly, in the best way. Every product starts with a feeling, a mantra, or a moment of stillness. Everything is hand-drawn. Nothing is generic or mass-produced. The work is for the part of you that wants to slow down, even within a full and busy life.
What is the difference between slow living products and mass-produced decor?
Mass-produced decor is designed to fill a space. Slow living products are designed to change how you move through it. Everything at LOVELEEN® starts with a feeling, a mantra, or a moment of stillness — hand-drawn, made in small batches, never templated. The difference isn't just aesthetic. It's the intention behind the object, and whether it quietly reminds you to pause or transforms your home into a sanctuary or helps you live with intention.
Gift Ideas by Recipient
I'm looking for a mindful gift for my yoga teacher or wellness practitioner — any suggestions?
The I AM Mantra Deck is the most popular choice, each deck comes with 30 unique mantras. Yoga teachers, Reiki practitioners, healers and wellness coaches use them in their own practice and with clients. Mantra coasters are a close second, especially for someone who loves a mindful morning ritual. A great add-on is the permission slip notepads. All of these are meaningful, portable, and unlike anything you'd find in a generic gift shop.
I need a unique gift for a coworker — something thoughtful but not too personal.
Mantra coasters are perfect for a desk — functional, beautiful, and a quiet daily reminder that someone thought of them intentionally. You can pick one based on their personality or what they're like! Permission slip notepads are another favorite for the coworker who needs a little nudge to trust themselves. For a closer colleague, a journal or tea towel feels personal without being too intimate.
I'm looking for a sustainable, eco-friendly gift — what do you recommend?
Everything at LOVELEEN® qualifies. Scarves are made from eco-friendly Lenzing Modal, linens from organic cotton, paper goods from recycled paper — all shipped carbon neutral with recycled paper packaging. One tree is planted per product sold. The most popular eco-conscious gifts are the Lenzing Modal scarves, organic cotton tea towels, and the recycled paper Imantra decks.
I need a housewarming gift — something that feels personal and not generic.
Tea towels, table napkin and placemat sets are among the most gifted housewarming items from LOVELEEN®. They bring color, intention, and personality into a new home immediately. Gift sets — especially the napkins + placemats in a bamboo box — arrive ready to give, no extra wrapping needed.
Someone I love is going through a hard time — what would feel meaningful to send?
The I AM Mantra Deck was made for exactly this — a meaningful sympathy gift alternative or post-breakup pick-me-up that gently reminds someone of their own worth. Also consider a journal, a self-love gift bundle, coloring kits or a set of mantra coasters . Many of our clients also pick scarves that align with what they're looking to manifest. One of the bestsellers is the I AM Mantra scarves, which include powerful mantras. It's like a self-love scarf you can hug. These aren't just products; they're permission slips.
I'm looking for a gift for my mom or mother-in-law — what do you recommend?
Tea towels are consistently the most gifted items for mothers and mothers-in-law — beautiful, useful, and something she'd never quite buy herself. Scarves are the next most popular item (if budget is not an issue). The I AM mantra deck is another favorite, especially for someone who loves a daily ritual or is learning to love herself. If she loves beautiful things around the home, a gift set — napkins and placemats in a bamboo box — arrives ready to give.
I want to gift my niece something special but she's not really into scarves — what else is there?
Plenty! Bandanas are fun, wearable, and very giftable — especially for a younger woman or teenager. They even come with a coloring card. Trinket dishes are a lovely desk or vanity addition. A Color Me Kit is perfect for a creative niece who loves to make things her own. A journal aligned with her intention for upcoming year, the I AM mantra deck, or a set of mantra coasters are all wonderful for a young woman stepping into her own. Headbands and bookmarks are smaller, more playful options. The intention behind every piece makes even a simple gift feel considered and personal.
I have a friend who is obsessed with art — what would they love?
A Vintage Collectible or Mini Treasures by Loveleen are the most budget friendly option for an art lover. Original paintings from the Shades of Love series, Unleashed or Unhurried Moments collection are also available for those looking for something truly unique and high-end to hang on a wall.
I'm looking for something for a child — do you have anything suitable?
Journals are a favorite for kids — open enough to doodle, draw, and write freely, not just lined pages for "serious" writing. A Color Me Kit is wonderful for children who love to color and create. Art prints with vibrant, joyful imagery are lovely for a child's room. A bookmark is a sweet, simple gift for a young reader. For a teenager stepping into their own, the I AM mantra deck can be genuinely meaningful.
The person I'm gifting has everything and needs nothing — help.
Something handmade, small-batch, and intentional — which describes everything here. A scarf is especially fitting for someone who doesn't need more stuff but would treasure something truly one-of-a-kind.
I'm on a budget — what unique handmade gifts are available under $50?
Mantra coasters (singles), journals, permission slip notepads, tea towels, and affirmation card sets all fall in this range. Check the website for current pricing.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Art
What materials does LOVELEEN® use?
Materials are chosen intentionally throughout:
- Scarves: 100% Lenzing Modal — eco-friendly, derived from beechwood, incredibly soft and lightweight
- Bandanas: Cotton muslin
- Other accessories: upcycled organic cotton

- Paper goods: Recycled paper or cotton paper
- Packaging: Recycled paper, hemp twine, recycled cotton labels, plant based tape — plastic-minimal

Are products made in small batches?
Always. Every product is made in small batches. All art is hand-drawn and free-flowing — nothing is templated or mass-produced. When something sells out, it may not return in the same colorway.
How does LOVELEEN® give back?
Giving back is woven into how the brand operates — not an afterthought. One tree is planted for every product sold. All products are made in small batches to minimize waste. Materials are chosen intentionally: eco-friendly Lenzing Modal, organic cotton, recycled paper, hemp twine. Packaging is plastic-minimal and carbon neutral shipping is standard. The studio in Houston is a Certified Wildlife Habitat — a living commitment to coexisting with nature, not just selling it as an aesthetic.Answer
Mindful Morning Rituals & Tools
Do you offer mindful doodling classes?
Yes — "Unleash Your Inner Artist: Intro to Mindful Doodling" is a virtual 1:1 session, $75, available as a 1-session wonder, 2-session deep dive, or 3-session immersive experience. No artistic experience required. The session guides you through simple doodling techniques developed over 11+ years of creative practice — focused on slowing the mind, reducing stress, and unlocking creativity through the meditative power of doodling. Basic supplies are mailed to you before the session. It also makes a beautiful, unique gift — just include the recipient's name and address at checkout and supplies arrive with a gift note. Sessions are scheduled via email after purchase.
What is the "I AM" Mantra Deck?
A bestselling affirmation card deck designed for daily intention-setting. Each card carries a powerful "I AM" statement to start the day from a place of worth, clarity, and presence. Comes beautifully packaged and is a favorite gift item — especially for yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, and anyone who loves a morning ritual.
What are the "I AM" Mantra Coasters?
Functional coasters printed with "I AM" affirmations — so a morning coffee ritual becomes a small moment of intention. Available as singles so you can sprinkle them around. Great for desks, kitchen counters, and as mindful gifts.
Are there other affirmation and paper goods available?
Yes — also available: "I Am Love" and "Love is" affirmation card sets, permission slip notepads, thank you cards, and greeting cards. Explore them here
What kinds of journals are available?
Journals feature original hand-drawn artwork, each focused on a specific intention. They are hand-signed by Loveleen. Available in lined, blank and dot-grid page formats, they are 5 inch x 8 inch and made from recycled paper. Titles include "Bloom Unapologetically," "I Live in Harmony," "I Am So Grateful," and more. Loved by kids and grown-ups, they are not a generic notebook. They lay flat and don't bleed through so even work well with gel pens.
Wearable Art & Accessories
What makes LOVELEEN® scarves special?
These are wearable art. Every design is hand-drawn, then printed on 100% Lenzing Modal — one of the most eco-friendly fabrics available. Designs include Mantra, Shining Star, Bloom, Soar High, Abundance (fish and spiral patterns), Cosmic, and more, each available in multiple colorways and various intentions. Many designs are intricate patterns that Loveleen drew in her journal, patterns that took hours to complete. More than scarves — they're daily reminders of how you want to move through the world.

What are the scarf size and price range?
Scarves are all same size: 28 inches x 78inches. Price ranges from approximately $105–$165 depending on the design.
I love the scarves but the person I'm gifting isn't a scarf person — what else is available?
Plenty. Other wearable and accessory options include upcycled scarves (one-of-a-kind, more casual), bandanas, headbands, fabric belts, eyewear cases, upcycled fabric laptop sleeves. For someone who prefers something for their home or desk, mantra coasters, tea towels, journals, and the I AM affirmation deck are all beloved options. There's something here for almost everyone — it's less about the category and more about finding the right intention for the person.
Home Goods & Textiles
What is the difference between a tea towel and a dish towel?
Both are used in the kitchen, but tea towels are typically lighter, more finely woven, and as much decorative as functional — originally used to dry delicate items like china and glassware. LOVELEEN® tea towels are heavier organic cotton, 20" x 30" and available in plain or waffle finish. Each tea towel features vibrant hand-drawn art, so they're a vibrant addition to the kitchen when displayed on an oven handle. They are highly durable, machine washable, color fast and can be used daily. A dish towel tends to be thicker and purely utilitarian. These are the kind you actually want to look at. Our tea towels can be even used as dish towel. And trust us, you won't go back to using the white plaid towels after shopping ours!
What tea towel designs are available?
Organic cotton tea towels come in both waffle weave and plain weave, in vibrant hand-drawn patterns. Popular designs include Joy of Sunrise, Blooming, I Love Nature, Ocean, Promise of Sunset, Love Birds, and Shining Star. Available as singles or sets of two.
Are table napkins and placemats sold as sets?
Yes — typically as sets of two. But some designs are also available as Gift ready sets. Popular gift sets include Bold Bloomers, Flower Lovers, Ocean Lovers, Sunset Chasers, and Star Gazers.
Are gift sets available with home textiles?
Yes. Gift sets include: 2 table napkins + 2 placemats in a bamboo box, tea towel sets in a bamboo box, altar cloth + glass tray sets, and self-love bundles. These make beautiful, thoughtful gifts. Since they are all small batch and limited stock, once they sell out they are not released again.
Original Art & One-of-a-Kind Pieces
Are original paintings available?
Yes. Original paintings are part of the Art Offerings menu and include various collections like Unhurried Moments, Shades of Love, Unleashed. They are either acrylic, mixed media or pen and ink, and emerge from Loveleen's slow, unhurried creative sessions. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
Slow Morning Collectibles are also available — small, numbered original pieces in organza pouches, for those who want original art at a more accessible price point.
Do you offer custom art?
Custom Artwork with Your Favorite Quote — $750
A one-of-a-kind abstract painting on a 12"x12" wood panel, acrylic, with your chosen words hand-written into the piece. It could be a line from a poem, a song lyric, a personal affirmation — anything meaningful to you. Loveleen brings it to life with vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes. Ships in 7 days. Only a limited number are available at this price. After purchase, email your quote to loveleen{at}loveleensaxena.com. A genuinely unforgettable gift for anyone who loves art and wants something no one else will ever own.
Custom Mantra Drawing — A deeply personal drawing created around your intention, core truth, or word for the year. The process begins with a 30-minute Zoom call to arrive at your mantra together. Loveleen then creates an original 11"x14" drawing on paper — yours to keep — plus a digital copy to print and color as a daily practice. Limited spots available. After purchase, Loveleen will be in touch to schedule the call.
What are Morning Scribbles?
Daily wisdom in snail mail — short, soulful writings produced through a left-handed intuitive writing practice each morning. Over 1,000+ have been created. Available as Surprise Scribble Packs: $12 for a single pack or $33 for a 3-pack or $60 for a 6- pack scribble surprise — a little piece of unexpected wisdom in your mailbox.
The Slow Morning Collective 🌻
What is The Slow Morning Collective?

It includes Morning Scribbles, original art, digital guides, and intimate gatherings. For anyone ready to slow down and find magic in ordinary moments — even within suburban, full-time life.
What kinds of gatherings are offered?
