Karwaan is the journey of Indian artisans, designers & brands who strongly believe in the power of togetherness, of their art, of preserving age-old culture & of staying true to one’s roots. With advancement of technology & Westernisation, the voices and craft of these artists are fading, thus making them scarce and a relic. What if there was a way to nurture this kalaa?
