Lafaani has its roots in Urdu and literally translates to ‘Immortality’. The inspiration has been to create a fashion brand within the context of human equality and planetary boundaries that looks into ecological, economic, cultural and social agendas with an active approach to address the various issues looming on the world today rather than look for passive ways to compensate for our actions.

The brand sources the fabrics from a grassroot organization located in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh working directly with artisan clusters based out of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and West Bengal: India. The Kala Cotton fabric is handspun and handwoven from Gujarat while all other fabrics for this collection are handwoven in Gwalior using Ambar Charkha spun yarn. The fabrics are then naturally dyed in their facility at Bhopal in an entirely handcrafted process. The fabrics reach our workshop based out of Delhi where all other operations such as pattern-making, stitching, hand-embroidery and hand-finishing take place. It is here that our vision comes to life and is translated in the very design of the garments. The leftover fabric scraps that are collected during the production process and then repurposed into accessories to ensure optimal use of resources. We are proud to have Upcycling as one of the core design practices at the brand.
