Rupa Trivedi
Rupa Trivedi is the founder of Adiv Pure Nature, a 10 year old venture based in Mumbai. She creates sustainable, green fashion through the waste recycling method making natural dyes from herbs, flowers, and recycled organic waste.
Her passion project, is called the “Temple Flower Project,” and it’s absolutely inspiring. Rupa has created her work out of the flowers given to the temples in India.

She up-cycles them to make beautiful scarves and garments from the natural dyes available in these flowers. Rupa works with many designers around the world to share her passion for green fashion.
