PETA, which honours cruelty-free clothing, accessories, and jewellery through this award ceremony gave the award to the brand for using cutting-edge innovation and sustainability in its products.

Commenting on the award, Supriya Shirsat Satam, founder of Foret in a statement said, “As India’s first brand to launch jewellery and handbags from a resourceful plant-based material, Cork, we are thrilled to accept the vegan fashion award from PETA. Cork has been popularly known only for its use as a wine stopper, however, at Foret, we have repurposed the upcycled cork bark to create exclusive and elegant jewellery and handbags.”

“The upcycled banana bark is another key material celebrated in our handbags. Our primary focus is to design our products such that it celebrates the texture of plant-based materials while creating a visually appealing fashion product. The award brings us closer to achieving our mission of creating a new narrative where vegan fashion is not chosen as an alternative, but as a primary fashion choice,” she added.

Foret sells its products through its e-commerce store and claims to support over 250 artisans including rural women globally.
