"We wanted to create something that hasn't been done before inside India," says Divyansha Asopa, Founder of 21 fools. The wooden frames around the photos have stories of their own. 21Fools travel to Rajasthan to get the wood from cupboards and vintage furniture that perhaps were passed down from generations. The paper used called BeejKapas, is made with seeds inside. After it's been used, instead of throwing away the paper it can be sown in the soil and it will grow into a plant. Each BeejKapas paper gives back to the environment.
Now moving on to the designs; Each month gives out new designs from different aspects of India. From Kolkata to Delhi to Himachal, Kyaari is sustainability and creation at its finest.
