EcoKaari – Humanising Fashion

EcoKaari is a social enterprise born from an ardent desire of the team to create a community where bottom-up development is the key to achieving better living for all beings in a sustainable way. ‘Eco’ means Eco-friendly, and ‘Kaari’ means Kaarigar (Artisan). Our name represents the relationship between the Artisans and Environment, and they both are interconnected and interdependent. India’s handicraft heritage has continually drawn inspiration from the environment, and Mother Earth has always been an integral part of our lives. Traditionally, our craft techniques have always believed in upcycling, material optimisation, and waste minimisation for many millennia ago. EcoKaari UPCYCLES waste plastic into beautiful handcrafted fabrics using Charkha (spindle) and Handloom. These fabrics are HANDWOVEN by women and youth who belong to humble backgrounds. We aim to innovate and present sustainable alternatives by pairing traditional Indian crafts with our UPCYCLED-HANDWOVEN fabrics with contemporary designs.
