The current unanimous focus of the country is to fight the second wave of Covid-19. Joining the forces in its capacity is the fashion industry by contributing towards the various relief funds. Multiple small and big scale brands have pledged a certain percentage of their profit share towards organisations that are doing the work on ground zero. While retail therapy is on no one’s mind right now, but if you do happen to purchase, do it through brands that are transparently working towards bettering this situation. Every penny you spend, make it count.
Take a look at these ten homegrown labels that are setting an example by doing their best to combat this health crisis.
