lekha is a lifestyle brand offering timeless clothing, accessories and merchandise for the home. Each piece is handcrafted in India by local artisans and designed to accompany you through all stages of your life's journey. We use only the finest handwoven organic materials such as linen, silk and muslin, and combine traditional and new textile techniques, our soft, breathable and machine washable garments are designed to make everyone look better, for any occasion .
lekha believes that the world will be a better place if we connect with those who create the items we wear every day. The lekha is meant to foster a connection between the artisan who makes the piece and the person who welcomes that piece into their home. We work largely with women's empowerment groups in India, designing prints and silhouettes, and employing artisans in rural Indian communities. In villages where men are traditionally the breadwinners and heads of households, helping women achieve economic independence can bring about change, build confidence, self-esteem and ultimately freedom.
