SANYUKTA SHRESTHA
A pioneer in sustainable luxury, Sanyukta Shrestha's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, "The Newars, 1901," is a powerful blend of cultural storytelling and sustainable luxury. The collection is a "magnificent declaration of identity" that fuses Victorian opulence with the rich heritage of Nepal's Newar culture.
The brand's commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of innovative, eco-friendly materials like hemp, mango, bamboo, wild nettle, and organic cotton. By utilising handcrafted couture techniques and partnering with artisan communities in Nepal, the collection promotes slow fashion and reduces its environmental footprint. This approach minimises reliance on energy-intensive machinery while preserving ancestral skills.
The collection is also deeply ethical, with a core focus on social sustainability. Sanyukta Shrestha empowers women artisans through fair-trade partnerships, ensuring each garment carries a human story of empowerment and skill. This emphasis on handcrafted details and unique imperfections encourages a shift away from fast fashion, celebrating longevity and conscious consumerism. A portion of the proceeds from the collection will be dedicated to supporting artisans and children in Nepal.
