Chandan Whittle was launched by Kam Chandan late 2018, but the story dates back 50 years to when her parents emigrated to the U.K. from India. From a young age, they inspired her through music, traditions, and her mother’s cooking which left her hungry to learn about her Indian heritage. And so, the vision for her colorful designs was born as she longed to discover not only her heritage but also relive her childhood memories and learn more about her parent's lives growing up in India. HANDCRAFTED BY A FEMALE-LED ARTISAN GROUP It’s equally as important to us to provide sustainable employment for a local group of female-led artisans in Karur, India in an effort to support the local community and revive the industry. ABOUT KAM Kam followed her career path as an Art Director in London, Dublin & New York. While she honed her craft in advertising, her passion for design was reignited with the launch of Chandan Whittle. Her desire to create products that celebrate culture, diversity, and craftsmanship serves as an outlet to flex her experience and knowledge of design. To her, it’s important to honor her family’s life experience in their native India. It’s equally as important to honor the local artisans by creating more reliable opportunities to earn a decent income through traditional craftsmanship, in turn giving their families a better start in life. Featured as one of the '10 best brands that empower women to support on International Women's day' - The Independent.
