Welcome to the Winter 2012 Newsletter from Panchachuli
U.K. As we look forward to another season, we’d also like to take this
opportunity to tell you about some of the exciting developments that have taken
place over the summer.
In June 2012 our annual visit to the Panchachuli weaving
co-operative in Almora took place and this year was especially exciting as we
took the design team from Timberland UK with us, and representatives from NEST,
who helped to co-ordinate the trip. We spent a great few days travelling up to
the mountains from Delhi and working with the Master weavers and the team, to
come up with some truly beautiful new designs for AW 2013. We can’t wait to
show you these and the new photos and video that were taken on the trip….coming
soon! But here’s other news for now….
Livia Firth at
Yoox.com
This summer our ladies have been very busy embroidering a
beautiful range of stoles for Livia Firth at Eco Age which are now available to
buy at Yoox.com. This is Livia Firths first collection and we are absolutely
delighted to have been chosen for this exciting project. We are also thrilled
for Livia as she has been chosen as a UN Leader of Change 2012 for her amazing work
with the Green Carpet Challenge. Well done Livia!

We are also thrilled for fashion designer Carrie Parry who
has won The Green Award at Amsterdam Fashion Week in January 2012, and in Nov
2012 the Eileen Fisher Business Women Award. Carrie has made an impressive mark
on the fashion scene in the U.S.A and many of her
