Our inspiration
I draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of Indian culture, traditional art, and vintage Bollywood music. My creative muse lies in the aesthetics embedded in the everyday life of the communities that shape my roots. My observations traverse the evolving landscapes of rural and urban lifestyles, capturing the essence of common people's daily routines with a keen eye for detail and appreciation for the diverse narratives unfolding in both settings.
Our Journey - Exploring Indian Looms and Crfats
"We’re an Indian high-street slow fashion brand, inspired by craft, culture, and travel. Our joyful designs use natural Indian textiles and artisanal techniques, bringing unique color and wonder into your world."
Leather Crafts
"In 2017, after graduation, I began working with international brands sourcing leather products. Concerned about leather waste and its impact on local communities and the environment, I pursued patchwork training in Shantiniketan, Kolkata. Over six years, I traveled across India, mastering techniques like braiding, weaving, interlacing, appliqué, batik, and leather painting to perfect my craft."
Hand Embroidery
Naturally drawn to Indian looms and crafts, I traveled across the country, seeking a sense of connection and comfort in traditional clothing. From 2021 to 2024, I deepened my craft knowledge under renowned designers Sabyasachi and Ritu Kumar. Over these years, I explored diverse traditions—from Bihar’s Madhubani and Gujarat’s bandhej to Chanderi and Kolkata’s fine mulmul."
Hand Crochet & Hand Knitting
"I grew up in a village where knitting and crochet were cherished traditions, passed down through generations. During COVID, seeing many skilled women in my community lose their jobs inspired me to empower them. Today, I champion their stories and craft, promoting sustainable fashion and creating a platform to help them earn sustainable livelihoods."
