Narindra Robin
Narindra was lucky enough to be able to study in France, in California, San Francisco. Coming from an island named by the first explorers as Saint Laurent Island, now called Madagascar, she had to write her destiny and fulfil her aspirations.
Her island is full of precision craftsmanship and extraordinary beauty, locally grown natural fibres allow for stunning plant-based accessory creations.
Their artisans, extraordinary women with "fairy fingers", have gold in their hands, their work is strongly influenced by French culture and art de vivre. Naturally, her wish was to introduce into fashion and luxury this work of art craft made in Madagascar.
She started Anaka more than 20 years ago. The relationship built with these women over the years is one of freedom, each craftswoman leading her life according to her aspirations and at her own pace, far from the exploitative models usually encountered. Narindra loves to see their pride as they watch the most sublime creations resulting from their work live on the catwalks of haute couture and the collections of the great fashion and luxury brands in Italy, France and Europe.
