Lorde & Donne is a craft-driven womenswear brand from India.
We began with a desire to engage with Indian craft, and to create for the modern Indian woman. Our intention is not to present one carefully packaged, definitive aesthetic. Rather, it’s to build a foundation that’s rooted enough in its own eccentricities and malleable enough to engage with India’s craft legacy.
Our beliefs about the world we’re building —
1/ Our identity is malleable.
Contemporary Indian is as modern as it is nostalgic.
2/ Craft is not singular.
It can be precious. It can be gritty.
3/ Reality is not fixed.
For something to stay the same, it needs to change.
4/ A wardrobe is many moods.
It is who you are but also who you can be.
5/ Luxury is a dream in reality.
Luxury is a feeling.
