The short documentary Confluence shot onsite in Nepal, is a narration of artisan's dialogues, giving pure insight to their point of views which also strongly re-connects to the need of creating transparency and accountability in fashion & design industry. Confluence is a small yet effective visual expression of nurturing awareness into process & people who are contributing their unique heritage skills in making of textiles that travel from cluster to closet. As an emerging brand that focusses on collaborative design, we feel this is inherent to sustain the livelihood of artisans. As their skillset thrives through a legacy of generationally taught inclusive techniques that empower the entire cluster locally and provides a timeless cultural connection to the socially conscious consumer globally.
