The Rise of Sustainable Fashion in India
In recent years, there’s been a significant shift in the Indian fashion industry towards sustainability. This change is driven by a growing awareness among consumers and designers about the impact of fashion on the environment. Sustainable fashion in India is not just about using eco-friendly materials; it’s also about preserving traditional crafts and supporting local artisans.
