Lola's world Shop – Reviving Indian Craft with French Spirit


The very interesting 'mother and child' concept store located in the capital city Delhi, Lola's world has everything for children from infant to 12 years. They also offer some fashionable outfits for men and women.

Now...you must be wondering that how Lola's world Shop is associated with Crafusion and why are they featured in our blog?

Well...we saw something unique in their creations that matched with Crafusion's theme. That uniqueness was their creative use of Indian traditional craft techniques in contemporary styles. Even though being a French label yet most of their products are made in India and probably that is the main reason that we can see an essence of Indian craftsmanship in their garments and accessories. Lola's World weaves sophisticated European designs with authentic Indian fabrics like: cotton, pashmina, khadi, silk etc. to produce a fusion of kurtas, skirts, dresses, pants, shirts and leggings. The tribal and beaded jewelry presented by Lola's World Shop helps to Jazz it up.


We were also fascinated by the bags that were made of leather with Kantha embroidery, some bags were made with the hand-painted art showing day to day life of India. These bags are very versatile and can also be used to carry your daily treasures.
