In the pursuit of practising sustainability and utilisation of organic produce, Kolkata Kettle 5.0 hosted an interactive platform for craftsmen, designers and local artists from different corners of the country to showcase their exhibits. Held on January 11 and 12 at 27, Ballygunge Park, the event saw several brands and designers put up a fascinating range of apparel, accessories and miscellaneous products, wherein each piece is crafted with care by local artisans without any mechanical or synthetic interventions. Highlights.
Bibi Russell with Nayanika Chatterjee
Besides choreographing the fashion show for the members of The Rotary Club, Nayanika Chattejee too graced the ramp wearing a pretty Jamdani Lavender saree that she had interestingly paired with upcycled jewellery.
Rista Handicrafts
If you ponder of including some eco- sustainable stuff to your interior spaces, this collection is just the right pick for you. Curated beautifully by local craftsmen, the collection includes rugs, mats, tools and small placeholders which are entirely handmade with materials like grass, cane, bamboo and rope.
The Woven Lab
While the brand is a champion of practising sustainable and mindful living, the same is reflected on their apparel collection that features dresses for women in kala cotton and khadi cotton. Besides ensuring that they are super comfortable to wear, one can easily opt for mixing and matching these dresses for different purposes, thus making fashion choices that are natural, yet stylish.@thewovenlab
