The fabric for these shirts is deadstock — rescued from surplus textile mills in Telangana rather than newly produced. By using what already exists, we reduce waste and give exceptional textiles a meaningful second life.

Provenance means the place of origin or earliest known history of something. Each of our garment comes with a QR code that shares the history, & journey of the garment. Each fabric has its own story from farm to fiber to yarn to fabric to finishing/dyeing and eventually garment making. Our aim is to be a fully traceable brand with tracing origins down to farm or seed level for each of our fabrics, with the exception of garments that intentionally use deadstock, & vintage textiles, contributing to waste reduction and circularity.
