We Are
Not Inspiration.
For over four centuries, the Western fashion, wellness, and lifestyle industries have treated India as an uncredited mood board. They lift the technique, leave the name, and mark the price up a thousand-fold. Stolen Heritage logs the evidence — 200 cases and counting — so the pattern stops being invisible.
Consent
Ask the cluster, the master, the community. Not the trade-show booth.
Credit
Say the name of the craft. Say the name of the region. On the tag, on the campaign, on the runway notes.
Compensation
Pay a royalty that survives the season. Fund the next generation of weavers, dyers, embroiderers.
Methodology.
- 01
Documented appropriation: the product, the year, the retail price, and a verifiable launch.
- 02
Identified origin: the craft, the region, the community lineage — sourced from Indian craft councils, GI registries, and ethnographic record.
- 03
Price comparison: published luxury price vs. fair artisan price at the source today, shown in both INR and USD at a fixed reference rate (1 USD ≈ ₹83) so the markup is impossible to miss.
- 04
Filed publicly. Shareable. Searchable. Browseable by category, brand, or region. So the pattern is impossible to look away from.
