Archana’s tryst with fashion began from as early as she could remember. She would design her clothes and create something new from her grandmother’s clothes. Even though she was strongly opinionated about fashion from a very young age, her true passion and creativity towards fashion unleashed after she got married into a textile family, who boast of being the first weavers of Chanderi Handloom in India.
Encouraged by her father-in-law, Archana started soaking everything she could about handwork, various crafts, handloom, and several other aspects of traditional craftsmanship and handloom. Experimenting, learning, and two decades of sheer hard work resulted in the birth of her eponymous brand in 1996. Since then, the sky has become the limit for her. She has been redefining fashion in a way exclusive to her.
Her work is an eclectic combination of handloom and handicrafts of India. Working in tandem with different artisans across the length and breadth of India, she creates mesmerizing and exclusive pieces of sarees and dupattas. They show some unique combinations of crafts and looms with acute attention to the finest details, which makes them remarkably distinctive.
