We're really proud to be working with Sasha, India's oldest fair trade cooperative to source ethically grown linen and cotton and to work with their experienced weavers in West Bengal to make these textiles. Learn more about these fabrics here!
Woven by India's oldest certified fair-trade artisanal weaving cooperative in West Bengal, these textiles are a dream! Each fabric is a hand-loomed blend of cotton and linen. We chose this blend for two reasons: 1) to create subtle texture and movement within the weave; and (more practically) 2) so that your shirts and dresses will be super easy to wash and wear, as they'll be more wrinkle resistant, more durable, and drape a bit heavier when worn. (While the fabric was produced in India, the dresses were all proudly stitched in Kenya by our team.)

I love the delicate colour of Taro; it also pairs beautifully as a duster with my Zuri sleeveless shirt Watamu... together the two are fabulous - lighter weight fabric, they are perfect individually for hot weather, but also together when it's just warm or when it cools off in the evening... I love these shades of purple.

I love it. The hue that falls between violet and pink works well with plums and greens and anything you please. I enjoy experimenting with various scarves and earrings, and especially noticed how well it works with iridescent shells.
The linen makes the fabric more wrinkle prone, but it comes out of a cool tumble dryer just fine.

The soft mauve, and the linen type cotton is perfect. I look forward to wearing it many times. I teamed it with a multicoloured wool and silk sleeveless vest and grey tights, as it is still quite chilly here in Tasmania. In fact it's outside drying after my first outing yesterday. Thankyou so much.
