The multicoloured upcycled weave
The source

From waste, by hand.

Packaging discarded by snack and chips manufacturers is collected, sorted by colour by hand, then twisted into yarn by artisans in Bagru — diverting plastic from landfill and waterways, strand by strand.

Why it matters

Colour and conscience.

UV and water resistant, skin-friendly, and built to age outdoors — diverting plastic from waterways while giving artisans dignified work.
