OUR ATELIER TEAM
THE COMMUNITY OF SANGRAHA
Our Atelier is located in the plush green area of Lucknow on the periphery of Kukrail Forest Reserve. It is here that all the magic happens. The Craft Dera is built in exposed brick and concrete textures with ample spaces to grow plants in the premises. For every artisan, tailor, finisher this is the pillar of our Brand philosphy.
Plus, here is something you would want to know. Sangraha word is derived from dual relevance, one to 'Sangrahalaya' or a museum that is a place to preserves and second meaning a Group. We believe in caring and building collaborative relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
