About Sanyukta Shrestha
A pioneer in sustainable luxury, UK’s multi award winning Nepalese born British Designer has redefined the luxury with her sustainable creations while empowering women in developing countries since 1998.
The designer has been recognised by the media as “the dawn of the sustainable movement”, “the Greta of the Wedding World ” and was among the first to introduce sustainability to the bridal industry in 2011.

Sourcing & Supplier Transparency Information
Sanyukta Shrestha is proud to promote a fair-trade and sustainable model that will define the role of cultural heritage while empowering local artisans through the sustainable projects. More than 50% of the fabrics (such as hemp, wild nettle, bamboo, banana, soy, organic cotton) are handspun & handloom in Nepal.
Despite its deep-rooted history and cultural significance, the handspun and hand loomed technique and the artisans behind the intricate fabrics, are on the verge of extinction. The artistic value of these ancient techniques is the foundation for brand’s distinctive and aesthetically unique designs and effort to preserve an over a century old exquisite way of working on a garment.

Thoughts from Sustainable Stylist Roberta Lee
This is one of my favourite sustainable luxury fashion brands for evening wear, and the bridal pieces are also spectacular. Sanyukta puts so much care into her pieces, they are glamourous, consciously made, and show-stopping – without being led by trends! What more could I ask of a luxury brand?
