The Good Gift boasted of upcycled fabric dolls inspired by Indian stories. Suhas from The Good Life shared his journey of creating the brand and a foundation to upskill the local women of the Nilgiris, making them independent and creating sustainable products. Multidisciplinary artist Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee (left), whom we met at the stall, was all praises for this initiative and found it a refreshing change from the Westernised plastic dolls which are not able to connect with the Indian psychology.             @thegoodgiftdotshop (Instagram)

Pilitaxi Festive, the sustainable fashion and lifestyle exhibition in association with t2 held at Sudha Hall, Ballygunge, on September 9 and 10, had 35-plus brands from across the country that specialise in sustainable products. From upcycled dresses to sumptuous desserts and recycled home décor items to organic jewellery, the diverse collection had inspiring stories behind each creation. Many of the participating brands like The Good Gift, Kasaa Hues and One ‘O’ Eight Knots are engaged in the empowerment of rural women from different parts of the country like the Nilgiris and rural Rajasthan. The idea behind Pilitaxi founder Bijaya Dutta’s thoughtfully curated exhibition was to bring together fashion, art and sustainability and thus promote responsible, sustainable fashion.

t2 dropped by for a visit and spotted actors Trina Saha, Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee and designer Neel Saha browsing through the eclectic collection on display and picking up their favourite pieces. Here’s what caught our eye on a walkthrough of the exhibition.
