Quality Production
Weaving Luxury with Craftsmanship
Shakera's talent shines in bringing her extraordinary floral designs to life. Drawing from her upbringing in India's vibrant markets and tailoring world, she infuses a unique and distinctive aesthetic into a delightful range of products.
The rich cultural heritage provides a strong complement to Shakera’s dedication to quality craftsmanship. This diverges into two arms: selecting manufacturers who comply with the highest standards in manufacturing, and constantly experimenting with new and traditional methods and techniques. These elements provide the foundation for a truly luxury experience, delivering the consumer a product that combines the best in design practice, fabric quality with a unique aesthetic.
Pen to Paper
A sketchbook in one hand and a pen in the other, many of Shakera’s designs start as hand drawn works of art. Capturing natural beauty in the black lines and white spaces, Shakera then introduces paint – acrylic, watercolour, gouache – to bring the drawings to life. Completing her designs with her signature etching to bring movement and vivacity.
Endless Experimentation
The union of design and material is one bred of passion and exploration. Bringing her scarves to life is the culmination of long held skills in embroidery, tailoring and colour matching, with the education from her studies in modern textile methods. With our chosen manufacturers, Shakera seeks those who share her understanding and can help her challenge the limits of what is done and what she desires.
Working with the Best
We partner with quality craftsmen to facilitate Shakera to bring her designs to life in a manner that meets her expectations and her desires. From the selection of textiles with the finest quality fibres that complement the motifs in her designs, to the matching of colour to dyes that capture the vitality of her paintings, these processes are only successful through a close partnership with our manufacturers.
Our manufacturers are artisans, skilled craftsmen who study, experiment, and adopt new production techniques, technologies, and printing processes in tandem with traditional methods to create products that are true to the Shaku ethos.
