Founded in 2018 by Manish Chhabra, DVC was born out of a deep-seated passion for preserving India's cultural legacy in the realm of fashion. Central to its ethos is the fusion of new-age silhouettes with vintage embroidery techniques, resulting in garments that tell stories of tradition and craftsmanship.
The brand takes out a pocket collection of 8-10 garments every 45-60 days. Each ensemble curated by DVC is a testament to the dedication and skill of artisans, with every piece taking an average of 1000 man hours to create and sarees particularly taking an average time of 2200 man hours.
"At Delhi Vintage Co., our goal is to seamlessly blend age-old craftsmanship with modern sensibilities and continuously work with different artisans from Varanasi, Kolkata , Leh & Delhi. To keep the artform alive, we have also launched PROJECT RESURRECTION wherein the aim is to provide a platform to artisans wherein they can connect directly with the consumers"- says Manish Chhabra founder & creative of the brand.
Recognizing the dwindling presence of authentic handloom and artisanal workmanship in contemporary attire, the brand embarked on a mission to reintroduce Indian textiles to the younger generation.
