OUR APPROACH
Apart from deep diving into a creative sphere, being ethically aware is an inherent part of our core values. Through our processes and material procurement, we embody the ethos of an eco conscious label.
Being a Mumbai based label, all our pieces are locally put together. Employing a number of skilled hands-right from masters and cutters, dyers and printers to the ever so skilled hand embroidery craftsmen. As a small and slow conscious label, we produce only limited quantities and do not adhere to mass production as a norm.
Our fabric dyeing is done using low impact AZO free dyes. Fabrics are digitally printed, hence resulting in a vastly reduced water consumption rate through the process.
We aim to keep the majority of our raw materials 100% biodegradable. Using only natural blends of cotton, linen and hemp, compostable clothing tags and eco friendly packaging that can be upcycled.
We believe in fair trade, and with our dedicated team of artists and craftsmen, we are able to deliver what we strive to accomplish, due to their unwavering hard work and hours put into every designed stitch. To be respectful of their workspace and mindful of their living wages, is one of the many ways that we work towards paying homage to them and to value their age old skills and craftsmanship.
At D V A I, we strive to take little steps to make big changes, one stitch at a time..
