India is now at the forefront of the sustainable fashion movement and with all the beautiful fabrics and craftsmanship, there’s no reason that it shouldn’t be. Some brands are making bold statements in the movement by only making clothes that can be traced back to the artists, while some have even created lines completely from up-cycling. Here are five of our favorites right now:
