Jamnagar by Ektaba Sodha
Trunk Show · Season 02
Where heritage meets haute style.
The story begins again
Where India's craft
meets contemporary luxury.
Season 01 gathered weavers, jewellers and designers from across the country into a single room in Jamnagar. Season 02 widens the circle — more looms, more ateliers, more of the hands that keep these traditions alive.
Two days. One address. A curated gathering of India's most considered makers, shown the way their work deserves to be seen — up close, in conversation, and directly with the people who made it.
A collection of stories.
A convergence of craft.
The experience
Not a marketplace.
A room of makers.
Every exhibitor is invited, not booked. The show brings together couturiers, jewellery houses, textile traditions and contemporary studios — each present in person, each showing work you cannot find on a shelf.
What awaits
Six worlds,
one address.
The Craft Atlas
Discover India,
one craft at a time.
Every maker at the show carries a place with them. Select a mark on the map to read where the craft comes from.
The journey
Season 01 was
the proof.

Ektaba Sodha
The idea was simple, and stubborn: India's finest craft should not have to travel to a metro to find its audience.
Ektaba built this platform to bring makers to Jamnagar — and to give a city with its own deep craft history a reason to be on the map for something other than industry. Her work across education and community in the region shaped how the show is run: personally, and with the makers at the centre of the room rather than behind a stall.
She curates every exhibitor list herself.
