Introducing

The Founders

Trained as an Industrial designer, Akanksha has huge love for material and crafts. She sees design in its essence as a way to engage, channel and build something that defines our lives. She believes products are tangible documentation of materials, skills, narratives and practices across the years. With kilchu the aim is to create a platform for products that hold value in their making, in their expression or come to exist simply to generate livelihood. It started with a need to change the dialogue between the consumers and the product.

Crafted in Delhi, India

Meet the Makers

Kilchu is a studio space located in Delhi and emplys 4 karigars (makers) who help stitch our garments. It's a creative space where the brainstorming, trials, sampling and production happens with collective contribution; each bringing the best of what they know to bring the Ideas to Life. The brand fabrics from regional textile clusters where the proceeds are fairly distributed between the memebers of the clusters.

The Process

All products are strictly made to order and the brand takes 7-10 days to make each garment. They do not believe in an assembly line and indeed have their karigars own each item from start to finish and give it the final form. The end result takes longer than what an assembly can produce but the joy of creation is held close with karigar.
