Sustainability Zone
Responsible Consumption & Production

Trisha Rao, a passionate advocate for India's handloom artisans, is on a mission to bridge the gap between slow and sustainable fashion and the challenges posed by fast fashion technology. As these skilled artisans struggle to sustain their livelihood in a rapidly changing industry, Trisha envisions a brighter future through her innovative platform, Book-A-Loom. By connecting conscious designers with handloom artisans nationwide, Book-A-Loom empowers collaboration and co-creation of handcrafted slow fashion, benefiting both parties.

At the core of Trisha's work is the belief in mainstreaming sustainable fashion, aligning her love for design with a deep sense of environmental responsibility. Through Book-A-Loom, she aims not only to provide handloom artisans with higher and more stable incomes but also to inspire a new generation to embrace and preserve India's rich handloom heritage. With a focus on reducing the industry's carbon footprint, Trisha's vision for Book-A-Loom is a testament to her commitment to creating a more sustainable and inclusive future for fashion.
