Our products are inspired by artisanal crafts , using handlooms and Handprinted techniques therefore using almost no energy in the process. In compare to the mechanised industry which uses 132 tons of coal per year weaving fabric, we use almost none.
No water is used, wasted, or polluted in hand spinning and weaving our textiles. In respect to the low impact dye we use, we are currently working to create a waste water management system
The chemical process mainly involve in hand weave technique is only on the dye stage. Although we are using low impact dye, we are currently working to create a waste water management system and has also started exploring alternative natural dye process
