'to define is to limit'
our journey
Acid Moons is a creative community centric textile brand established in 2019. We believe in using Indian traditional textiles as weapons of liberation, morphing ancient Indian objects as talismans for our narrative, re-interpreting them in nostalgic forms to adorn our textile-first garments.
In our Universe, each garment pays homage to the brand’s dedication towards preserving and building a space in the world for Indian traditional artisans and artistry, and to champion fashion as a form of social activism.
Acid Moons’ journey began as a merchandise store that started out of Kareena Oberoi’s drawing room space and took off while she was in college. She collaborated with various Indian music artists like DJ’s, record label companies and such to create a platform for Indian art to thrive. Her vision was beyond merchandise and Acid Moons’ forayed into textiles fully in 2023, alongside her mother and one tailor, to bring her creative vision to life.
Over the years, Acid Moons’ has evolved to champion and work with a network of artisans specializing in their craft to innovate in the field and experiment with embroideries, while helping a Delhi-based organization supporting women artisans to craft their dreams by helping provide them a respectable livelihood.
our vision
craft + textile innovations + fostering the creative community
We are dedicated to preserving and innovating textile crafts like appliqué, kantha embroidery, aari embroidery, hand-painted kalamkari and many more, with a network of artisans from several parts of the country like Jaipur, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal & such.
We bring together a community of creatives to make garments as talismans, replete with personal stories woven into craft forms using handwoven fabrics.
We’re giddy with excitement with all the stories we are and will be sharing with the world, all deeply rooted in curated nostalgia, history, textile provenance and crafts and take it to a global audience.
traditional artisanal crafts
working with the artisans directly
Acid Moons aims to bring a kinder, gentler approach to fashion by building a network of sourcing directly from artisans, and using environment-friendly materials that can ultimately boomerang back to the planet.
We are a patron of the arts, crafts and textile crafts, helping to steer the bandwagon ahead by keeping it alive and thriving, and relevant, across the globe. Like the maharajas of earlier times, who were patron of the finer arts, we aim to keep the fire alive today, holding the torch for all things artisanal.
We are grateful to call artisan clusters from across India our work family, to employ the crafts to tell stories with textiles and crafts: as talismans with spiritual symbolism, folklore, music and craft.
