lakoon

Lakoon is an Indian fashion label that launched in 2016 and is headquartered in Mumbai. The brand was founded with a focus on creating contemporary apparel that blends modern silhouettes with traditional Indian textile techniques. Lakoon’s design ethos emphasizes clean lines, muted palettes, and the use of natural fibres, particularly organic cotton and hand‑woven tissues sourced from rural crafts villages in Rajasthan and Gujarat.

The company’s early collections featured a range of women’s ready‑to‑wear pieces, including shirts, blouses, jumpsuits, and trousers that incorporated subtle prints inspired by Indian embroidery motifs. Lakoon quickly expanded into lifestyle items such as scarves, bags, and cushions, maintaining a consistent emphasis on eco‑friendly production practices. In addition to its ready‑to‑wear line, the brand offers an occasional “limited edition” capsule series in partnership with local artisans, allowing small craft communities to showcase their skills on a larger platform.

Lakoon has been recognized in the Indian fashion press for its commitment to ethical sourcing. In 2018 the brand was shortlisted for the “Design Inspiration Award” at the IFA (Indian Fashion Awards). It also participates in Jaipur’s annual India Handmade Fashion Week and in other regional exhibitions across the country. Sales channels are primarily through the company’s own online store and select boutique partners in major cities such as Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.

In addition to its retail activities, Lakoon runs a corporate social responsibility program called “Thread of Hope”, which provides vocational training for women artisans to improve their payroll and help them transition to higher purchasing power through participation in the brand’s supply chain. The program has supported more than 4,000 women in the past five years. The brand’s statement of purpose guides all production decisions, aiming to balance commercial growth with cultural preservation and environmental stewardship.
