We’re giving them adequate training and developing a community participation process to achieve our target production.

‘This coat was created from traditional hand-spun & hand-woven woolen
fabric from Malana, designed by Naveen Negi and stitched overnight by
local tailor just before I left for Tokyo to face a cold winter.
Thick and heavy it kept myself warm n comfortable, gave me company
like a friend, became a part of me.
It smelt rustic, looked original, felt ethnic...
reminded me of Master Yoji Yamamoto’ - amlan

an idea of peace, love and cohesive existance.
