Such is the story of the garment workers of Allen Solly who portrayed their undying spirit and creativity through the latest Handmade Collection brought to you by Allen Solly.

Allen Solly has launched this collection with a campaign ‘Made with Hands, Made with Love’ to celebrate the undying spirit & creativity of their Garment Workers. The Collection is a tribute to the inherent creativity and relentless passion of Asha, the garment worker at Allen Solly Factory and many like her who work for Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd.

For the consumers, it is a unique take on shirts as each piece has embroideries made with hands and with love. Each shirt is one of its kind as it is carries the signature of the garment worker who hand embroidered the piece with love and care.

The Handmade Collection film was an opportunity to tell that tale of relentless energy and true passion.
