However, in recent times, several designers have been putting an unconventional spin on the country’s textile traditions by merging them with new-age designs. These efforts not only help preserve languishing crafts, which first surfaced decades and even centuries ago, but also increase their relevance by making them more suited to the needs of a modern-day wardrobe.
