Our story
Founded by two sisters.
Inspired by our mom.
Deepa Metlapalli & Pratima Vasiraju
Threads & Tables Collective was founded by sisters Deepa Metlapalli and Pratima Vasiraju in memory of our mom, Lata Surampudi, who passed away in 2024. Throughout her life, she worked with and supported charitable organizations in India. Her example taught us that helping others does not need to be complicated—it begins by noticing a need and making sure support reaches the right hands.
Lata was also an animal lover, and her compassion extended to both people and animals. We created Threads & Tables to carry her spirit forward through clothing and food drives for local organizations, along with occasional pet-supply drives when a local animal shelter confirms a need.
What we do
