Note from Savnit

My label Dhaaga & Co. By Savnit has been my dream project from my days in college and is a true reflection of my learnings through my years of work experience. The desire to go back to your roots and work towards the sustenance of a local handicraft is what makes Dhaaga special. The Indian Culture and Crafts are so rich and fascinating. To put it on a Global Platform through fashion to suit the needs of the contemporary consumer is a lucrative form of marketing and business. The Indian handicraft Industry has great potential and deserves to be showcased to the world. 

OUR PURPOSE

Dhaaga & Co. aspires to form the world’s first Chikankari community, with a goal to bring recognition for the craft and its workers on a large scale. With a deeply engraved passion for the art, our purpose lies in giving the rightful artists- the Chikankari artisans their dues. Dhaaga as it’s core brand value would seek to share profits with it’s artisans, creating for them an enriching and fulfilling life with Dhaaga’s Artisan Fund.
