The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts unveils Mirrors of Hope: Lippan Art Christmas Trees crafted by Women Artisans

The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts unveils 'Mirrors of Hope', a signature festive initiative that brings the traditional artistry of Lippan work into a contemporary expression of Indian luxury across select Palace hotels.

Handcrafted Lippan Art Christmas Trees:
Installed across select Leela Palace hotels (New Delhi, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Udaipur).

Cultural Heritage:
Lippan art is a traditional mud-and-mirror craft from Kutch, historically practiced by women. It symbolizes joy, prosperity, and reflection.

Women Empowerment:
Created in collaboration with women artisans supported by the Karigar Foundation, reinforcing community upliftment.

Sustainability:
Trees are modular, made with eco-friendly materials, and designed for reuse. After the season, they’ll be upcycled into ornaments, coasters, and keepsakes.

Guest Engagement:
Visitors can share photos with hashtags #MirrorsOfHope and #LeelaEmpowersHer, directly supporting artisans through the brand’s CSR program Threads of Tradition.

Broader Festive Canvas:
Other Leela properties showcase sustainable trees made from repurposed wood, coconut husk, reclaimed pipes, and locally handcrafted ornaments.

Why It Matters
This initiative blends luxury with purpose, turning seasonal décor into a platform for:
- Preserving Indian craft traditions
- Empowering women artisans
- Promoting mindful, sustainable luxury

It’s a beautiful example of how hospitality brands can transform festive celebrations into meaningful cultural storytelling.
