Made from Khadi cotton, a hand-spun and handwoven fabric that is known for its breathability, strength and subtle irregularities. It embodies sustainable textile craftsmanship and a low impact production process. We take care to source quality fabrics that are healthier for the environment, the worker, and the wearer are our priority.

The Khadi cotton undergoes an AZO-free dyeing process. AZO-free dyes are free from harmful synthetic compounds, ensuring the fabric is gentle on the skin and safer for the environment.

100% of our CMT process was completed by Vanavil Association. Vanavil trained and developed the skills of the local tribal community. The process includes pattern cutting, assembling, and hand-finishing details; each stage carried out with a commitment to skill-building, empowerment, and environmental mindfulness.
Using solar-powered sewing machines and equipment, the team ensures each garment is finished with precision and care.

Each Colombina is accompanied by deckle-edge archival cotton rag papertags. Made from 100% recycled cotton off-cuts, the paper is acid-free, tree-free, and hand-lifted sheet by sheet before being pressed and sun-dried. Its soft texture, feathery edges, and natural variations reflect the slow craft of its making. Water used in production is drawn and treated onsite.

AZO free dyed fabrics are prone to bleeding and fading if laundered incorrectly.
