Handmade in India

Indian artisans working on sustainable silk production of scarves

India is a place of longing for many people. You have to stay at least a month, people say who have visited India, to understand, to immerse deeply in the Indian way of life. The sheer multitude of sensory expressions, the colours, smells, sounds and the friendliness of the people are typical for India. The Indian handicraft gives off exactly that feeling: plenty of colours and a lot of freedom to fulfil themselves. Handicraft is a big part of India’s cultural heritage, especially in rural areas. In different states of India, the various handicrafts reflect the influence of different empires.

Today, there are many designers who implement the traditional handicraft in their modern designs and sustainable fashion pieces. This way, the cultural heritage is appreciated and will be preserved further. The fair trade brand cocccon available at ABURY's online shop works together with an Indian crafts community to manufacture printed silk scarves. The printed silk scarf is either printed using the block print technique or digitally printed with a sustainable eco ink. Another special feature of the printed silk scarf is the silk itself: It is organically produced non-violent silk, which generates an extra social impact. With this sustainable fashion silk scarf, you bring the colours of India to your wardrobe and at the same time support the cultural heritage of India. Same goes for the fair trade jewellery designed by Fiona Paxton, made in India. The sustainable fashion jewellery is elegant with a splash of bohemian vibe and creates social impact – what more could you want?

Some say handicrafts are a mirror of the cultural identity and of the artisans who make them. Through the ages, the traditional handicrafts in India haven’t lost any of their elegance and exclusiveness. Until today, the sustainable fashion pieces handmade in India carry the magnetic appeal of the Indian culture that promises exclusivity, beauty, dignity and style. The fair trade scarves and jewellery show this to be true.
