Endless chai conversations that would take place between two friends, Drishti and Rashmick, in the tiny tea shop opposite their university gates, led to the birth of Lafaani. They both have a strong passion for Indian crafts & textiles and wanted to imagine a world where fashion and sustainability aren't oxymorons. So, following a master’s degree in sustainability, Drishti began a three-year long journey to experience and understand the elemental truth of fashion, its process & supply chains, the business behind it and of course, the environmental & social impact of it all. She was joined by Rashmick that led to the creation of Lafaani.
