Fazal-Chadha to 'solve' struggle of Indian artisans
Despite earning global acclaim, Indian artisans are grappling with issues that risk their continued participation in the industry. Chadha and Fazal have recognized this problem and are channeling their passion for handcrafted art into a project designed to breathe new life into Lucknow's artisan community. Their initiative is a direct countermeasure against the challenges posed by modern technology and mass production of traditional crafts.
Chadha shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming brand
Chadha shared excitement and stated, "We have always wanted to sport local communities, our social endeavors too are something we strive to do from a grassroots level up." The couple's vision is to establish a label that truly mirrors the artisans' skills, especially those specializing in intricate textile work.
