Their Siyahi collection, a carry forward from the last season, has prints that only use natural and mineral dyes made by theKhatri community of Bhuj which draws its inspiration from Godana, the traditional art of body ink decoration. &ldquo;Our working with the artisans has helped them to understand how traditional craft and skills can be translated for a modern look. This way, apart from financial benefits, their craft skills are getting more recognition&rdquo;, shares Lal. <h2 class="footer_style"> At: Goodearth outlets in the city.
