SLOW & SUSTAINABLE
FACT ON FASHION WASTE
The number of garments produced annually has doubled since 2000 and exceeded 100 billion for the first time in 2014 and an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste is created annually from the fashion industry. Shockingly, every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned globally.

OUR PILLARS
The Collins dictionary defines ‘Sustainability’ as the ‘Avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance.' In other words - do not take from the earth more than it can replenish, and do not put back into the earth more than it can take.
In fashion, running a sustainable business means taking into consideration many important factors:
HANDMADE IN-HOUSE
Each piece has been lovingly made by hand at our very own studio in Mumbai, India.
