This handwoven 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. The pigments in our clothing naturally interact with our skin when worn, choosing AZO-free dyes ensures that sensitive skins are kept safe from harsh chemicals.

This embroidery is a Nüwa Mano design, adapted from our logo and utilising a Lambadi chain stitch. This particular shape is a technical challenge for the artisans and takes 8 days to complete each piece.

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 piece 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.
