Raw material

  • Hemp grown organically in rural Himalayan communities
  • Textile scraps collected from local garment manufacturers for patchwork
  • Himalayan wool is gathered from free-roaming local sheep
  • Natural dyes made with roots, spices, other botanicals and minerals

 

Production

  • After collecting the hemp from local farmers it is weaved before it's used by the rural Himalayan tailoring units to make durable textile products
  • Patchwork products are made by the cluster of tailoring units in the rural Himalayan community
  • Wool products are hand knitted by local home workers in the community
  • Natural dying is done locally by a master dyer
  • The production of all the products is centred around creating livelihood opportunities for the local population in the rural areas of the Himalayas

 

Environmental impact

Social impact
