ABOUT US
We cultivate direct relationships with artisan communities to ensure transparency, fairness, and dignity are maintained throughout our textile supply chains.
Our strong partnerships with handloom weaving communities allow us to source fabrics that are handmade with natural fibers and dyes, and to offer the option of customisation and co-creation. For us, this work is not just about creating garments. It is about continuing to share our cultural heritage and our beautiful crafts with dignity and purpose, all while cultivating harmony and humility throughout each thread we weave.
