Manage episode 455477652 series 3591064
In this episode of Global Desi Women, join host Arti Solanki and co-hosts Bhavana Shelley and Karishma Shelley as we talk to incredibly talented Shruti Asher, co-founder of Breathing Fabrics Co. and the visionary behind Vithika Curated Weaves.
Breathing Fabrics Co. (BFC), founded by Shruti Ashar & Mona Sheth in April’24, is a result of a simple idea coming to life through consistent action and love for comfortable, conscious fashion.
Style to us is about keeping it real and classy. Each product is handwoven using organic fabric and natural colours; artisanal craftsmanship at its best. The material molds to your fit effortlessly, remains unfazed with repeated washing. Alongside creating unique pieces, we are committed to BFC’s manufacturing practices as a responsibility to our people and processes. We truly believe that stories are born in the unlikeliest of places - forgotten books, an old wallpaper, a pinned message, a mesh of colourful threads.
