Partnering with Kartik Kumra— founder of Kartik Research (formerly Karu Research) Stepney Workers Club bring together two very different worlds of history. S.W.C's '80s and '90s sportswear influence is modified through way of Kartik's commitment to traditional innovative techniques discovered and refined within the Indian subcontinent.

Kartik Research emphasizes the preservation of Indian handicraft by closely partnering with skilled artisans nationwide, crafting contemporary menswear.

This special edition Amiel sneaker utilises fabrics created by Kartik with hand embroidered motifs and detailing. The handicraft base is overlaid of S.W.C's own technical upper panels made from classic suede and leather. At the heel of each shoe is a small mirror—a reference to Indian mirrorwork known as Shisa which has been practiced throughout the Indian subcontinent since the 17th century.
