Since 2013 we are Fair Trade certified by WFTO's India chapter. We work exclusively with the Handloom Weaving Co-operatives across Kerala in southern India. Here is how we make everything you see in our online store. Our process may be slower, but our products are lovelier and stronger for it. Thank you for supporting fair trade!
