We bring together handpicked brands under one roof, allowing visitors to connect directly with artisans, explore sustainable choices, and experience the timeless beauty of slow fashion," states curator Sanchita Ghosh.

Visitors can browse over 23 carefully selected labels featuring a range of traditional and contemporary pieces, handwoven sarees, Jamdani dresses, Benarasi and Matka weaves, eco-printed apparel, tribal embroideries, bamboo jewellery, and more.

The curation spans regions such as Bengal, Assam, Varanasi, Gujarat, Lucknow, Karnataka, and Rajasthan, each offering distinctive weaving, dyeing, and embroidery traditions.
