KARISHMA SWALI AND MONICA SHAH Co-founders, JADE, Chanakya School of Craft, Monica & Karishma Couture
Advocates of the handmade, particularly Indian craftsmanship, the designers have consistently made new strides in the field and are a force to reckon with today. Together, they co-founded JADE in 2008, the Chanakya School of Craft in 2017, and most recently Monica & Karishma Couture in 2019.
When two creative professionals come together with a singular vision and an approach driven by sheer zeal and commitment, it’s bound to spark off an inspiring journey. With strong backgrounds in design and an earnest aspiration to elevate and honour India’s arts and crafts legacy, Karishma Swali and Monica Shah joined forces more than a decade ago, first launching JADE Couture and thereafter the Chanakya School of Craft, with their most recent venture being Monica & Karishma Couture.
