Born in 2015 out of a shared love for craft, culture, fashion, and travel, the designers at Jodi work with natural textiles and hand-block printing. Even their fabric waste is used to create limited edition products and accessories. We liked their hand block printed and embroidered silk sarees and zero-waste, hand-embroidered jackets and quilts.

<h2>Striped out - TAHWEAVE</h2>
Started two years ago with the goal of giving back to the weavers, one quickly takes notice of Tahweave&rsquo;s structured silhouettes, basic stripes and checks with a hint of tie-and-dye. Their versatile handcrafted outfits can be worn to office and parties too. The off-shoulders and cowl drapes have been bestsellers for the last three seasons but we are in love with the zari trench coats.

<h2>Go the khaki way - 11.11</h2>
This pret label has its roots in the luxury space, while emphasizing on creating links between farmers, weavers, vegetable dyeing and block printing traditions. Their coherent and meaningful fashion garment line tells the story from seed to stitch. We fell for their indigo palette&mdash;especially the Gilet for men. Made from fabric waste, their babouches made of fine linen with rothko block print and the bell anklets, bracelets and rings are what caught our interest too.
