Samant Chauhan and Jaisalmer Crafted Bar collaborate at Lakmē Fashion Week

Designer Samant Chauhan and Jaisalmer Crafted Bar Collectible collaborated at Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI in New Delhi on October 15, 2026. The partnership aimed to merge Indian craft traditions with contemporary luxury through a Crafted Bar experience and a series of special collectibles.

The collaboration highlighted the intersection of textiles and botanicals. Chauhan is recognized for his work with Bhagalpur silk-weaving traditions, translating handloom textures into modern silhouettes. Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin utilizes a traditional distillation process with a blend of 11 botanicals, including Darjeeling green tea, lemongrass, and cubeb pepper. The initiative explored how regional Indian craftsmanship can be expressed through both apparel and lifestyle objects.
