There is something about a vintage sari that no contemporary fabric has ever been able to replicate. The weight and intention behind every thread, and the fact that someone, somewhere made it entirely by hand and meant it to last.

This three piece set is built from a single vintage sari, a dual-tone silk carrying beaded embroidery and intricate cutwork that is simply not being made anymore. We took the richly embroidered pallu, and built the bralette and corset from it. The corset is paneled to cinch at the waist and exaggerates at the hip, bold and architectural without losing an ounce of the fabric’s original grace. The dual-tone silk becomes the Guljhaam skirt, asymmetrically pinned at varying levels, inspired by the effortless way Indian women have always tucked their longer garments at the waist to move freely and beautifully through their day.

The most underlooked has always had the most to say. and it just needs the right stage.

Repurposing, for us, is not just about urgency;it’s also about intention; The intention to create things that stay used, and become a part of someone’s everyday rhythm.

These books resonate deeply with how we see upcycling and reimagining. ‘Made from what was left behind. ‘ The smallest, most overlooked remnants; our chindis, slowly find their way into something you can reach for every day.

And this also why ideas like Earth Day don’t feel separate to us, they’re already a part of how we choose to work, every single day.

@seeratsaini in our one-of-a-kind printed draped Antariya pants for @coachella
Each pair is crafted from a different silk, making every piece truly unique. The drapes are designed individually for each pant, so no two are ever the same.

For this one, we chose a light paisley-printed silk, breathable, flowy, and perfect for effortless movement.

Pants are available at @thesocietyofcloth

Nothing like a well-made closure to bring everything together. We spend a lot of time on things most people don’t really notice at first and buttons have always been one of them.
It’s a small part of the process, but for us , it’s one that plays a big role in keeping the garment true to the brand’s nature.

#DesignerInFocus — The New Custodians of Craft

New age Indian labels are marrying conscience with cultural intelligence to reshape wedding wear.

Divya Saini (@dibzoo), Founder of Bodements (@bodements_), is building a label rooted in memory, material and meaning. Working with vintage Indian textiles, her practice centres around reimagining heirlooms into contemporary silhouettes that are designed to last beyond a single moment.

“Bodements began as a platform for vintage, but it evolved into creating contemporary garments from heritage textiles. The idea is to cherish what has been forgotten.”

“Consciousness begins with the material, but it extends far beyond that. It’s in the way we build, operate and create.”

“We make pieces with an afterlife. Garments that can be worn again and again.”

In a landscape often defined by excess, her work offers a quieter alternative—one that values preservation, intimacy and longevity over scale.

Working across people, culture and community, @assadkeval ’s instinct has always been to build something that holds both past and present. It reflects in how he works, and naturally, in how he chooses to dress.

For Nidhi and Noah’s wedding, he came to us with that same clarity. For the mehendi, he chose our one-of-a-kind Antariya pants paired with a custom short kurta in pure silk with kantha embroidery.

For the after party, he wanted something less traditionally Indian, but not disconnected from it. We worked with a vintage black and gold Banarasi georgette saree, reimagined into a shirt and sarong. The idea wasn’t to reinvent the fabric, just to let it exist differently.

APSARA is one of those silhouettes that constantly takes us back to the story of how the garment first came to life, rather than just seeing it as a contemporary piece of adornment.

Inspired by early cholis and the fluid drapes seen on celestial dancers, the top brings together a high neckline with an open back tied together with delicate doris. Each piece is made from vintage silk sarees, pleated from the pallu so the fabric keeps its natural fall.
While the form feels modern, its foundation remains rooted in the cultural language it came from.

Stay close to someone long enough and you start picking up on each other.

The way you stand, the way you move, even the silhouettes begin to feel familiar.

Maybe that’s why these pieces make sense here. Different fabrics meeting where they weren’t meant to, ties that adjust and hold things together, folds that fall differently on each body. Not the same, but somehow still in conversation.
