Jaisalmer Crafted Bar Collectables X Samant Chauhan Collaboration Explained 

Jaisalmer Crafted Bar Collectables X Samant Chauhan presented a Crafted Bar and special collectibles inspired by the coming together of Indian craftsmanship with contemporary design. At the heart of the collaboration is a shared belief that craft is more than a technique. The collection carries the memory of a place, the skill of its makers and the possibility of reinvention. 

While Samant is known for his extensive work with Bhagalpur’s silk-weaving traditions, and giving them a timeless yet modern form and silhouette, Jaisalmer Crafted Bar Collectible are rooted in a story that begins with botanicals drawn from across India and a gin-making process shaped by traditional distillation.

The collaboration with Jaisalmer is an interesting coming together of craft and contemporary design, creating a new context in which Indian craftsmanship can be experienced and appreciated.”
