WHY THEY’RE CONSCIOUS
Indian handlooms have many magnificent stories to tell of their heritage and how the art has been passed down through generations. Each piece is well researched and designed to be in line with the fashion season, adding more grandeur to the craft it promotes. Ritu Priyanka gives you an opportunity to own an apparel which has,heritage in every warp and weft.
WHAT’S THEIR FIGHT
POWER TO THE PEOPLE: They work with artisans who are practicing textile processes which are minimum 400 years old. As their processes are all done by hand and hence takes time and has quantity constraints they had lost market to the culture of fast fashion. They are trying to give them an avenue by which they can keep their art alive and make a living. Hence they work with artists practising different artforms in different parts of India.
PROTECT THE PLANET: Their artisans use vegetable dyes. They print and weave by hand so there is no use of machines or electricity. Hence it is good for our environment.
