Oshadi
Oshadi, a regenerative fashion initiative based in India, utilises traditional Indian artistry and agricultural practices to consciously navigate every step of garment production. Their 250-acre regenerative cotton farm supports biodiversity, carbon absorption, and healthy soil, while natural dyes minimise environmental impact. Oshadi prioritises ethical treatment of its employees, working directly with local communities, offering competitive wages, and providing excellent working conditions. Upholding high standards of environmental responsibility and ethical production are core values for Oshadi.
Manos Del Uruguay
Every piece from Manos del Uruguay interweaves community and culture. Founded in 1968 by five women – Olga Pardo Santayana de Artagaveytia, Sara Beisso de Souza, Dora Muñoz de Cibils, María del Carmen Bocking, and Manila Chaneton de Vivo – this worker-owned cooperative in Uruguay thrived in the face of adversity. Drawing inspiration from the richness of their local culture, these women harnessed the beauty of craft and materials to improve their lives and the lives of their community. More than half a century later, Manos del Uruguay stands as a testament to the power of community and a passion for artisanal crafts.
