CHANDAN ALLEN

Chandan began her journey from India, growing up in India, Chandan was already introduced to a rich heritage of textiles, hand-made crafts, spirituality, yoga and vegetarianism. These values are very much inscribed in her motto and her work.

Chandan’s belief in quality and attention to detail, led to establishing her own manufacturing in India, where each design gets its form and life. The team of artisans and craftsman turn each design into a masterpiece keeping in mind the hand feel that differentiates the brands from its contemporaries.

Trained at Central Saint Martin, London, UK, Chandan honed her skills and learnt the art of European fashion which is still very much inscribed in her designs through her silhouettes, prints, detail and its unique appeal.

Chandan is very much driven by sustainable fashion, and looks into every detail of her business keeping in mind the environment and footprint. The fabrics sourced, dyed, printed and all other factors that contribute to the global footprint.

Chandan is now marking her 10th Anniversary of her business with the launch of her first store "Mélange" at Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto.

Being a mother of three children, a globe traveler and a happy Californian resident, Chandan is fierce in her values and beliefs, in supporting ethical fashion, philanthropy, giving back to the community and a happy vegetarian who supports PETA passionately.
