Cork

natural vegan eco friendly carbon neutral anti-allergen water resistant stain and scratch resistant light weight

If you thought cork was only limited to stoppering your favourite wines, get ready to make a new toast! Light, elastic, and compressible, cork is an excellent raw material to work with, that lends its abrasion resistance and hypoallergenic properties to materials produced from it. On an average, a cork oak tree can live up to 200 years providing a renewable source of cork bark. Cork oak forests retain up to 14 million tonnes of CO2 every year, and surprisingly when the bark is harvested responsibly, the same trees actually absorb up to five times more CO2, thereby playing a major role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Musa

Musa, a name as natural as the material itself, whispers stories of community and innovation. Crafted from the discarded fibers of banana plants and the warmth of wool, it's a biodegradable marvel born from the heart of Indian agriculture. The journey began as an experiment, harnessing the potential of banana fiber with the name 'Musa' (a nod to its scientific lineage, Musa textilis) reflecting the promising results that blossomed. Today, Musa stands as a testament to sustainable practices and collaborative spirit, transforming agricultural waste into a material brimming with potential.

Khesh

zero waste production upcycled recycled eco friendly carbon neutral ethical production

Forget the recent surge in sustainable fashion, Indian weavers have embraced this ethos for generations! In the heart of Birbhum district, West Bengal, lies "Khesh," a tradition that speaks volumes about mindful practices. This vibrant textile isn't just handloom-woven, it's literally reborn from the vibrant past. Skilled women meticulously hand-tear old sarees into strips, transforming each single garment into a treasure trove of 80-90 vibrant ribbons. The magic lies in the unexpected - no two Khesh creations are alike! The fabric unfolds its true beauty only after weaving, revealing a breathtaking patchwork of colors and textures, a testament to both sustainability and artistry. Khesh isn't just a fabric, it's a story woven with heritage, community spirit, and an unwavering commitment to the environment. So, the next time you admire a beautiful textile, remember, its legacy might stretch back much further than you imagine.

Recycled and Upcycled Lining Fabrics

upcycled recycled carbon neutral light weight

Our bags wear their heart on their sleeve, or rather, their lining! We partner with Khaloom, a passionate collective of weavers in Bangalore, whose handwoven magic lines our creations. Their secret? Recycled and post-consumer yarns, spun into sustainable beauty on traditional, man-powered looms. Not only does this reduce our carbon footprint, but it also supports the artisans who keep this age-old craft alive. And because fair wages, fixed contracts, and benefits are woven into their work (a rarity in India), we empower them to continue passing down their generational skills. But the story doesn't end there. Our waterproof linings get a second life, lovingly crafted from reclaimed umbrellas. So, when you carry our bag, you carry not just your essentials, but also a legacy of sustainability, community, and conscious choices. Every stitch tells a story, and it's a beautiful one.
