Born and brought up in Lucknow, UP, Deepika Khatri wants to promote the hand artwork of Lucknow. She says, when we talk about sustainability it means that everyone should be able to sustain themselves. We need to make sure that artisans who do hand work should be fairly paid. They all should be empowered so that they can keep this hand art alive.

While researching for a project after completing her graduation in “Bachelor Of Knitwear Designing” from “National Institute Of Fashion Technology (NIFT)” Bengaluru she came to know about the hard-hitting facts of the fashion world. This is when she realised that there is a need to make a positive change in the society for ’Slow Fashion’, where we try to avoid producing clothes in bulk and focus on Made-To-Measure designs for the customers.
