Upcycling old clothes has always been a way of life in India. Take, for instance the villages in Rajasthan that are known for their quilts or patchwork style. Indian designers have always embraced using the discarded. Check out these stores for ‘best from waste’ products.

Archana’s Creation

Started by Archana Gadge, this is a homegrown brand that transforms pre-loved garments into something new and usable. She specialises in creating tote bags, laptop sleeves and pouches from jeans, using jute that comes with courier packages and more such packaging materials that would otherwise go to waste. Being an artist, herself, she brings life to the products by hand painting the bags with Warli motifs. All her products are strictly custom made and Gadge is open to suggestions.
