Homegrown brands that are making India proud

Highlighting the homegrown brands have been more important than ever. With Republic day around the corner, these talented homegrown brands deserve every bit of our support

In a world where you can shop anywhere, shop homegrown. When we talk about shopping homegrown, it all boils down to directly or indirectly boosting the economy of a country. Supporting homegrown businesses opens up not only space for innovation but also for a better living for everyone. From clothing and accessories to lifestyle, we have brought you an intentionally curated list of various brands and their views on why one should support homegrown brands.

Indian Embroidery and embellishments inspire Moirra’s Jewellery. We try to skilfully utilise the eternal charm of Indian Embroidery in each of our collections. All our pieces are fabric based wherein we blend the old traditional work with the new, experimenting with styles and surfaces.

We strongly believe that one must support Indian homegrown brands simply because there is a general feel-good about using something that is conceptualised and created closer to you. They tend to focus on locally produced fabric, and local craft and bring it to the global market.

We need to make Indian clothing our everyday lifestyle choice so we can move forward into making it acceptable across the globe.
