I discovered my interest for designing while pursuing my degree in Media &amp; Communications. So post graduation, I decided to test it out by doing a fashion diploma in Raffles. That&#8217;s when I found my love for textiles, pattern cutting, fabric manipulation and decided to make a career out of it. Thereafter, I did Bachelor in Fashion Designing at London College of Fashion and then worked for two years with a designer named Lula Laora.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0While working with Lula Laora, I knew I&#8217;d eventually start my own fashion label in Nepal. I wanted something of my own, but wasn&#8217;t sure when I&#8217;d move back and start my venture. My sister&#8217;s wedding pulled the trigger. That brought out the emotional side of me, considering I was always away from home (boarding school &amp; higher education), never got much time with my family. So I quit my job in 2022 and returned to Nepal. Now, here I am representing Marsyangde, my fashion label, six months later.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e91901 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5e91901\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42f870d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42f870d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"662\" height=\"883\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 662 883'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-6133\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-561x748.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-265x353.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-531x708.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-364x485.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-728x971.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-608x811.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-758x1011.jpg 758w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-72x96.jpg 72w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404-313x417.jpg 313w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7404.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ed0273 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3ed0273\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a1f59e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a1f59e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial;\">What is Marsyangde all about and how did this come about?<\/strong><br \/>Inspired by the &#8216;Raging River&#8217;, stemming from the Himalayas, Marsyangde (pronounced Mar-see-yang-dee) aims to create fashion pieces that not only look beautiful, but also capture the spirit and energy of rivers, and raise awareness about the importance of protecting these vital resources. It&#8217;s fashion with a conscience. Marsyangde creates chic zero waste clothing for the modern wardrobe.<br \/>\u00a0Oh, unsure if you noticed, but it also has my name in it, that was a bonus point while deciding on the name for the brand (lol).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial;\">What is the essence of your brand?<\/strong><br \/>All our clothes are customisable. Marsyagnde believes in helping people find their own style and comfort zone. It\u2019s about empowering confidence. We try to incorporate a lot of multi-functionality in our designs such as, detachability, reversibility etc.<br \/>\u00a0Since we&#8217;re a sustainable brand, we not only believe in zero waste at production, but also post-production after sales. So, when clients purchase an outfit from Marsyangde, a couple of years later when that outfit is out of fashion or they&#8217;re bored of it, they can bring back the clothes to us and we&#8217;ll re-design and up-cycle it into something relatively new.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cda925 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5cda925\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c38683 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0c38683\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"662\" height=\"993\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 662 993'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-6134\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-561x842.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-265x398.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-531x797.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-364x546.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-728x1092.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-608x912.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-758x1137.jpg 758w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-32x48.jpg 32w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2-313x470.jpg 313w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shawl-Collar-JKT-2.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60f2da5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"60f2da5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43bda4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43bda4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">What is your first collection all about?<\/strong><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">It&#8217;s a winter collection- an introduction to what Marsyangde is about.

So we incorporate things like up-cycling and zero waste pattern cutting. We make clothes with added structure for longevity. Additionally, Marsynagde clients have an option of up-cycling the garments bought over a period of time. It\u2019s all about making garments that will last and could potentially be passed down over generations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial;\">What are some of the fabrics you use in your outfits?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>We&#8217;ve used a lot of winter fabrics like suede lined in fur, wool, velvet and cotton fleece. I think fabrics and color can either make or break your design. Not all designs are compatible with all fabrics. While deciding a fabric for a design, I have to think of weight, texture, combinations, how thick a seam will get when layered up; when to design down and design up for certain design aspects. Most importantly, finishing- if your clothes aren\u2019t finished well, they won&#8217;t look good no matter how good the design is. Each fabric requires different finishes, and you\u2019ll only know this with a lot of practice plus trial and error.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7af58f9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7af58f9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f123fc4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f123fc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"662\" height=\"993\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 662 993'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-6136\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-561x842.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-265x398.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-531x797.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-364x546.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-728x1092.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-608x912.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-758x1137.jpg 758w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-32x48.jpg 32w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-64x96.jpg 64w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1-313x470.jpg 313w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/MG_2841-2-scaled-1.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13b2cc1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"13b2cc1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5b555b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e5b555b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">How do you make sure you make it a zero waste product?<\/strong><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The hardest and the most time consuming way is via pattern cutting. I remember when I first started zero waste cutting in LCF (London College of Fashion), as it\u2019s not something they teach. I spent an entire year and two collections just trying to figure it out. But I\u2019ve always been curious about pattern cutting and how clothes are constructed and the complexity of zero waste cutting increased my interest (it\u2019s more about the construction than designing for me). That\u2019s where I learnt the value of fabric\/textile (expensive\/inexpensive). My quest to consume entire fabric for a design is where I started exploring zero waste cutting.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Fun fact: I don&#8217;t draw and design. I pattern cut, drape and design.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0The best way of making zero waste products is constant innovation. I read a lot of books, follow people that practice sustainable design and practice countless times. After a whole lot of trial and error, I\u2019ve found my own way. It\u2019s one of the most difficult things. but extremely rewarding when you hack it.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0The learning process is endless and that\u2019s the best way to learn, as sometimes mistakes come out as beautiful designs. I incorporate as much zero waste pattern cutting as possible. But when my design is compromised, I stop and recycle the offcuts to generate new designs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Esparsh Sarawagi Arsya Giri, Fashion Designer &amp; Founder of Marsyangde (A conscious fashion label with a focus on sustainability and attractive design) always had a penchant for clothes and is literally championing sustainable fashion one collection at a time.
