Fabric

Organic Cotton

We source organic cotton from a textile manufacturer in Chennai. Did you know, most of the cotton fabric available in the market and the stores are actually a cotton-viscose blend (even when they say they are a 100% cotton)? Believe it or not, finding 100% cotton was the toughest part of our sourcing process.

Fabric

Silk

We use a 100% pure silk and silk satin in our pieces. While looking at silk alternatives and ahimsa silk and more, we realised that ahimsa silk was actually a by-product of a famous North Indian delicacy- Boiled silk worms. Most silk alternatives use a lot of chemicals to be manufactured, and are not as suitable for clothing as the traditional alternative.

Fabric

Linen

Sourced locally from Calcutta, we use Linen in the form of a satin weave, giving the traditional natural, organic fabric a sheen and some polish. Not going to lie, it is our founder's favourite find of the lot, and the smoothest linen you would ever feel.
