Anavila Misra just released a beautiful Spring Summer 2020 collection made of sustainable linen. The new pieces feature intricate sequence work, bright happy colors, and special motifs that bring a lovely summer mood.

Based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Anavila Misra makes mindful creations that leads to mindful consumption. The Indian fashion designer has earned a lot of followers who love her languidly draped linen saris.

Since the launch of her brand in 2011, Anavila Misra has assembled more than 80,000 passionate fans on Instagram. This month, she is bringing new prints into reality for Summer 2020.

Every season, she begins her work with rough sketches which are then carved into wooden blocks by hand. After a lot of trial and error, she manages to bring on environmentally friendly textiles the designs she imagined on paper.

“Our print collection which is an integral part of our brand is painstakingly put together by using hand-created vivid motifs and beautiful hand block printing."
