Shoonya

A Boutique Apparel Label⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Shoonya or void -- is often perceived as 'emptiness' or sheer 'absence', however, it is often the presence of 'no-thing' -- The Limitless Presence. A blank slate, an empty canvas, a vacant space, the unexplored lands, are nothing but unlimited potential and boundless opportunities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Discovered in the land of India, 'शून्य' or Zero has the greatest significance amongst numbers. It not only adds value to the other numbers , 'शून्य' is both the start and the end of numbers. Being the divisor to any number, it defines the concept of infinity; thus completing the cycle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have incorporated this concept of Shoonya in the logo by interpreting the O’s in Shoonya as Zeros, depicting that it is presence beyond physical nature. The Zeros do exist, but they are beyond our perception.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At Shoonya, we strive in our working methods in order to attain शून्य, which is also translated as limitless presence or boundless opportunities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘People matter’. We reach out to artisans and weavers from the remotest parts of India, who create intricate and detailed textiles from the world’s oldest textile traditions⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
