Founder of Antiek East

About the founder

Founded by Abha Gupta in 2024, with her debut collection showcased at PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival. The brand explores how ancient techniques and forgotten crafts can be reimagined into contemporary heirlooms, bringing handwoven textiles and artisanal processes back into modern wardrobes. At its core, Antiek East is a fashion diaspora - a dialogue between Indian and European fashion sensibilities, shaped by history, migration, and identity. Our collections revisit the period of the East India Company, when countless indigenous crafts were disrupted, diluted, or erased. We are committed to bringing those crafts back to life as living, wearable pieces of art. From the fine Khadi cotton of Gujarat to hand block printing from Rajasthan, each garment is carefully made in collaboration with artisan communities across India. Every thread carries the trace of a hand, every imperfection a reminder of something human.
