Taavi was launched in 2019 with an aim to become a home-grown Indian art and handicraft brand. As of now, Myntra has over 20 private brands that contribute 20 per cent of overall revenue.
Sharing his excitement over Taavi’s success, Manohar Kamath, the chief of Myntra’s fashion brands said, “With every weave of Taavi, we bring an aspect of livelihood to the idea of knitting together, age-old culture with modern sensibilities, enabling over 2.5X growth since its launch. The pandemic and its economic repercussions have been quite harsh on the community of weavers and artisans, causing distress to the already ailing sector.”
Furthermore, he added, “In a commitment towards the well-being of the artisan community, we decided to extend a helping hand for the artisan ecosystem to sail through the situation and have placed 3X of repeat orders with our partners.”
