Co-Create
RaasLeela is an artisan-designer brand that creates one-of-a-kind pieces with a unique story by incorporating traditional techniques rooted in Indian crafts. The artisans are skilled in their respective crafts ranging from interlacing stitch to applique and more. Unlike machine-made clothing, our team does not follow the monotonous process of creating the same thing over and over again. We want to provide artisans with a platform where they can do a diverse array of work.
The 'Co-Create' program allows any individual, designer, or brand to collaborate closely with RaasLeela artisans in a remote setting. This initiative will allow you to have one-on-one conversations with artisans via video calls and the opportunity to collaborate on new designs. The artisan's profile and the skills they are proficient in can be found below; scroll down to learn more.
