Padmini Govind now leads the family business, which began with her mother, Lakshmi, and a small group of artisans printing silk saris with carved teakwood blocks. Govind returned to Bangalore in 2007 after a career in technology in the U.S. to lead the studio.Today, Tharangini’s archive contains more than 6,000 woodblocks. For the Stanley collaboration, its artisans used archival patterns associated with Diwali rituals and celebrations to create a woodblock-print collage. That artwork inspired the drinkware designs, carrying the studio’s textile traditions onto bottles and tumblers used every day.The studio is also known for organic dyes and fair-wage artisan practices, and it holds Nest’s Ethical Artisan Seal. Several artisans have worked there for decades. Its support for the team includes fair wages, profit sharing, private medical insurance and paid vacation.Nest’s ethical handcraft program addresses worker rights, health and safety, fair compensation and environmental care.What’s in Stanley’s new Diwali collection?The new Stanley lineup includes three drinkware styles:30-ounce Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, $45: The handled tumbler has a flip-up straw, a leakproof closure and double-wall vacuum insulation.
