Kartik Researchpar Kartik Kumra

Founded by Kartik Kumra in 2021, Kartik Research is an artisanal fashion brand based in New Delhi, India. The core tenet of Kartik Research is to reintroduce humanness into clothing. The pieces feature a reversion to old world craftsmanship, with wovens being produced on handlooms and the embroideries all done by hand. Kartik Research draws inspiration from India’s rich subcultures, exploring themes of heritage and aspiration through its collections. From the aesthetics of 60s psychedelic rock to the Indo-modernist art of the 80s, the brand aims to explore how traditional crafts reflect our cultural movements. Kartik Research collaborates closely with master artisans to revive forgotten Indian crafts.
