A portion of proceeds from the sale will go towards NGO Women Weave, headed by Sally Holkar, which aims to support women weavers in rural India and sustain organic handloom fabric.

Says Tina Tahiliani, executive director, Ensemble, “There is only a small percentage of people who are environmentally conscious. We feel we have the platform to reach out to them while increasing the awareness of the general public through fashion.”
