ICYMI, Tinder, LBB and Gaysi Family are coming together to create Queer Made - a digital space for products, services and businesses owned and run by India’s LGBTQIA+ community.
With Queer Made, we have been able to discover and amplify some unique businesses: where you will soon be able to shop from as well! This curation celebrates those entrepreneurs who are creating stunning fashion apparel and accessories that will make your #OOTD stands out!
FrayLabel is a Chennai-based custom apparel brand with a line of colourful kalamkari tops, shorts and summer dresses as the focus. And to think this successful online store started out on a whim of 5 college friends! Presently run by Rasika and Niranjani, FrayLabel caters to all sizes, styles, preferences, comforts and budgets. The material is sourced regionally while employing local artisans and tailors. So head over to their Instagram page to add clothes to your cart!
