Ten of Nutkhut’s Platinum Jubilee Sustainable Sari’s have been packaged, posted and stamped with a wax seal of approval to cities across five continents, including Commonwealth countries, and they have returned to the stunning Tower Suites by Blue Orchid Hotels on the weekend of the 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence.

Nutkhut are delighted that individuals have been wearing the  Platinum Jubilee Sustainable Sari in front of iconic backdrops and how it has connected each country and individual, with the greater purpose of highlighting Climate Change and the need for a more sustainable future.Tina Gupta who wore the sari at Brooklyn Bridge, New York said: ‘Fashion exists in every corner and neighborhood of this city - it's been an excellent way to show how tech and heritage can work together to highlight a campaign.’

The Sari is made from sustainable recycled plastic bottles and embodies the spirit of the Platinum Jubilee and the Commonwealth.  Vineeta Maharaj who was photographed outside the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco said: ‘Here in California we are working towards many solutions to make our planet more sustainable - it's been an honour to participate in this excellent initiative’, and Shivani Satya who stood in front of The Colosseum, Rome said, ‘The G20 summit was here in Rome in 2021, highlighted huge disparities in the Climate Change debate, particularly the role of Women.  This initiative is one way to begin to enroll a wider body of people.’

Nutkhut’s Artistic Director Simmy Gupta said ‘We are delighted that Nutkhut's Sustainable Sari has returned from its world tour to the Tower Suites by  Blue Orchid Hotels, where together we will champion sustainability in the arts, fashion & hospitality industry.’

Nutkhut is a leading producer of community-engaged work in the UK and plays a key strategic role in the outdoor arts sector, particularly through its leadership and advocacy for Mela:

• Founded in 2004 and now approaching its 20th Anniversary, Nutkhut was created to present Ajay Chhabra and Simmy Gupta’s creative work following 15 years as performers with other companies. The company has established a strong track record for working outdoors. This remains a key component of its current work offering a range of creative opportunities and a direct connection with audiences through work in the public realm, which is usually free to access. 
• Nutkhut has successfully demonstrated the company’s ability to create compelling projects such as Dr Blighty, Never Set Eyes on the Land and Girmit which bring arts and heritage together to explore untold histories, working with leading cultural organisations such as Brighton Festival and the Royal Botanical Gardens. In 2022 Nutkhut is leading a major component of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant in central London.  The company has also become the leading advocate of the UK Mela sector through the creation, development and facilitation of the UK Mela Partnership nationally.
• Nutkhut is committed to creating access to creative careers for under-represented groups and its Associate Artists Scheme creates a talent pipeline for diverse artists (largely of South Asian heritage). Through its family-friendly work, education programmes and work in schools the company seeks to inspire and engage the next generation through creativity and the arts
