WHY SUSTAINABLE
DESIGN LIBRARY
EXISTS?
Sustainability is no longer optional — it’s a buyer demand, a compliance standard, and a brand story. Yet sourcing sustainably from India is still fragmented, confusing, and often greenwashed.
- 26+ years of sourcing legacy — now focused entirely on sustainable materials and processes.
- The only organised hub connecting brands to natural fibres, handmade crafts, and certified suppliers.
- Dual approach: sustainable by material or sustainable by process.
- Certification-ready sourcing (GOTS, Fairtrade, OEKO-TEX, NEST).
