All our organic cotton is grown from non GM seed in the northern state of Gujarat, and is certified by both SKAL and the Fairtarde Foundation. Our organic denim is woven and softwashed for us in South India and made up in K.V. Kuppam. We also produce garments in noil silk, cotton lawn, cotton corduroy and velvet. |
