Shrishti is an end to end design house that brings together skilled weavers and artisans from different corners of the country. It’s where Latha’s unique sense of colours are transformed with fabrics, block printing, hand embroidery and painting through to the final stitching, into a fashionista’s most trendy collectable piece.

In a space where the fascination with silk is all pervading, Latha uses exotic variations of cotton to create exquisite pieces. Each fabric is taken to represent its ancestry of sorts and combined with what gives it a new age twist. By doing this, Latha tries to do her part in ensuring that the most sacred of Indian textiles are kept alive. Every last inch of fabric used in a Shrishti creation is 100% pure. Never has even one synthetic blend been used, ever. Not in the past, not in the future. It sometimes means that in insisting on hand woven fabric over machine woven, the cost of material to create a piece is up to five times more. On the other hand, the resultant textures and colours are always in a class of its own.

Staying true to her philosophy over the years has helped craft collectibles for the true connoisseurs of fashion, who have greatly appreciated the fineness of texture and the boldness of colours that it affords.
