About
The core tenet of Kartik Research is to reintroduce humanness into clothing; each item of clothing has a handmade touch. The pieces feature a reversion to old world craftsmanship, with wovens being produced on handlooms and the embroideries are all executed by hand. Kartik Research draws inspiration from India’s rich subcultures, exploring themes of heritage and aspiration through its collections. From the aesthetics of 60s psychedelic rock to the Indo-modernist art of the 80s, the brand aims to explore how traditional crafts reflect our cultural movements. Kartik Research collaborates closely with master artisans to revive forgotten Indian crafts and bring them to a global audience.
