Lotus Veda

Lotus Veda is a textile development enterprise that comes alive through master weavers and artisans from across India. They mix yarns to create new textures that symbolise unity in the diversity of Indian crafts.
Introducing

The Founders

Lotus Veda was conceptualised by Chetan Daruka, born into a family of textile entrepreneurs. While exploring the brands identify, Chetan travelled across various artisan clusters such as Chanderi, Maheshwar, Varanasi and Murshidabad to name a few. With no formal education in design or craft, Chetan learnt everything he knows from the craftsmen themselves. The most magical aspect of the brand, he says is the extraordinary chemistry involved in the multiple textiles used in making a single product.

Meet the Makers

The brand has been working with grassroots weavers/artisans since its inception in 2010 to develop unique textiles, while keeping the local heritage and culture of each region intact. This gives them the ability to work directly with the artisans, who are the experts in their field. The outcome is the creation of unique prints, textiles and dyes making each product unique.

The Process

All the textiles developed at Lotus Veda are hand-woven and hand printed in different parts of India. They work with grassroots weavers, artisans, and block printers to develop unique textiles while keeping the local history, essence, and beauty intact.

Standards

The brand consciously works towards a zero waste policy. They recycle and reuse where possible while also producing small batch and made to order collections. They use materials that are eco-friendly such a organic cotton or indigenous Kala cotton from Kutch, handloom cotton from South India and hand spun khadi from West Bengal. All input fabrics are ethically handcrafted by artisan clusters.
