Working with local craftspeople enables us to decentralise our supply chain, providing artisans with the opportunity to lead more wholesome lives in their own communities. The pre-dyed fabric is then transformed in a fair wage factory in Delhi.
This specialised small-scale production facility minimises the amount of waste generated, and reuses any scraps of material for patchwork fabric. Each item may feature an extra embroidery or patch to optimise the use of leftover fabric, but still showcase the same look, feel, and finish. Feel proud to wear this unique and special piece.
THE DESIGNER STORY
Recycling has always been a deeply rooted tradition and part of our lives, be it the tradition of making Kantha quilts out of the old clothing or transforming your mother's vintage sarees into a trendy attire. We have always valued the resources we had and loved to be a part of it and felt connected to the old charm and warmth, but all that is changing. Increasing industrialization,globalization, fast fashion, and ever-growing buying power among people have popularized a culture of quick disposable fashion.
