KINDNESS IS ALWAYS IN FASHION

KA-SHA

Founder Karishma Shahani Khan celebrates artisanal techniques and craft traditions to create stylish, modern outfits. The brand has also introduced a sister label called Heart To Haat, where artisans upcycle, recycle, and mend old clothing and textiles to give them new meaning, drawing from techniques of craft through innovation.

Clamp Dye Cotton Chanderi Dress, ₹25,000, and Jacket, ₹13,500, both Ka-Sha

GRASSROOT BY ANITA DONGRE

In keeping with designer Anita Dongre’s longstanding support to the artisan community, her label Grassroot focuses on providing sustained work to artisans, and not just seasonal orders. Mindful, artisanal- and -socially sustainable, the pieces honor local traditions across craft clusters.
