Gul Panag Instagram – I’ve been dying to wear this stunning belt and bag from @anitadongre every since I got it ( after seeing it on the lovely @diamirzaofficial ). I had put this outfit on a hanger ( it takes me a hell of a lot of planning to put an ensemble together, #IYKYN ) for a surprise party I was to attend. Which didn’t happen. 💁🏻‍♀️ So, finally got a chance to wear it the other day, and had to ask @albeegupta for a photo. Because you know there’s nothing worse than putting yourself together, and not capturing it! Both the belt and bag are vegan leather. And so finely crafted . Anita’s commitment to sustainability is something I have witnessed firsthand over the years. Whether it’s sourcing organic cotton from marginalised cotton growers in Telangana , to supporting artisans across the country to be pushing the envelope on animal friendly accessories . And she practices what he preaches. For over a decade now, I cannot recall Anita carrying a leather bag. And on one of our catch ups over lazy lunches , she spoke of how she admired Stella, McCartney, and how one day she would like to do something similar in terms of accessories. And here we are .😀 I’m so, so proud to have known you over the years and to be able to call you my friend. You’re are a role model @unpluggedanita . ❤️ And yes, our lazy lunch is now overdue.
