Sparking Sustainable Style: Vashishtha Luxury Fashion Teams Up with Bequin for Eco-Friendly Sequins

Vashishtha Luxury Fashion Ltd.—renowned for luxury embroidery—has joined forces with Bequin to confront one of fashion’s less-discussed environmental challenges: the ecological footprint of petroleum-based sequins and embellishments. The collaboration is an answer to luxury fashion’s growing demand for sustainable solutions, leveraging bio-derived materials to produce visually stunning and biodegradable sequins. Developed through partnerships across India and the UK, including Botto Labs and The Stitch Archive, Bequin’s unique material delivers luster and versatility rivaling conventional sequins, while reducing plastic waste.

 

This venture also supports local Indian craft communities, generating rural livelihoods and empowering women artisans. Beyond sustainability, Vashishtha commits to drastically cutting internal plastic usage and fostering education, reflecting a holistic approach to environmental and social responsibility in fashion.
