Kudrat Makkar is the Founder and Creative Director of MASTANI a luxury ethically made and sustainable women’s wear label.

Through her work Kudrat wanted to have a connection with native India in a way she could give back. Her vision was to meld traditional techniques in a modern way, through exceptional artisanal clothing.

These handmade traditional techniques are inherited by artisans from her ancestors.

The MASTANI artisans are masters in embellishment, hand looming, structure and contemporary silhouettes. They bring to life the design ethos which is to blend tradition and modernity, timelessness and uniqueness.

With a focus on sustainability, MASTANI provides a working environment that promotes strong ethical practices and full-time employment for our team, taking a holistic approach to the welfare of our team and in turn the local community.
