Heart to Haat by Ka-Sha

Heart to Haat is inspired by the indigenous ideology of reusing, re-purposing and reclaiming. It was born as the team delved deeper into existential questions of conscious practices at Ka-Sha, their sister label. All Heart to Haat products are made using production waste and applying innovative design techniques to create beautiful, functional products ranging from bags to accessories to clothing.

Introducing

The Founders

Heart to Haat was Karishma Sahani Khan’s endeavour to reduce production waste of her own brand Ka-sha. A graduate from the London College of Fashion, Karishma has kept the process, people and materials at the core of all her creations. What started out as a zero-waste endeavour at Ka-Sha in 2012, has now been turned into an industry-wide solution for textile waste that cannot be recycled. Through Ka-sha and now Heart to Haat, Khan’s designs use handcrafted processes while using materials handwoven by artisan clusters in India. She made her mark globally by showcasing at fashion weeks (India), TRANOI (Paris), Who’s Next (Paris), South Africa Fashion Week (Johannesburg), Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (Malaysia), and London Design Festival (London).

Crafted in Pune, Maharashtra

Meet the Makers

The brand operates out of their studio workshop in Pune, Maharashtra and consists of a core team of 17 artisans and makers. The small team sticks together in their shared vision of staying mindful of processes & people along the journey of the garment.

The Process

The brand offers up-cycled products and textile waste management solutions for other designers and manufacturers who are looking to deal with their waste responsibly. The label can also help you take unwanted textile scraps and other materials to re-purpose them into usable products.

Standards

Heart to Haat works with a community of embroiderers and ‘karigars’ who are paid fairly and work to enhance, mend, revisit or re-purpose used clothing. The label also works with artisan clusters and NGOs across India in an effort to leverage their indigenous skills and to educate them about sustainability.
