Award-Winning Textiles & Apparel Manufacturer| Sustainability Expert
With over 17+ years of expertise in the apparel and textile industry and having run my own D2C brand, I pivoted to manufacturing to fulfil the crucial gap between brands & reliable manufacturing partners. Since 2020 we have been collaborating with retail, boutique and sustainable brands across the USA, London, the Netherlands, Australia, Argentina, Canada, South Korea and Japan. Whether you are an established international label or a high-growth start-up, I provide the infrastructure and expertise to manage your entire product lifecycle under one roof. What do I Bring to Your Brand? 1. End-to-End Product Lifecycle Management: I handle the "heavy lifting" of production so you can focus on scaling. My studio in Jaipur manages the full spectrum: i) Design & Development: Tech packs, pattern making, and sample development. ii) Artisanal Craftsmanship: Hand block printing, hand embroidery, and specialty finishes. iii) Manufacturing: Precision cut/make/sew and batch-wise production. iv) Quality Control & Logistics: Final finishing, eco-friendly packaging, and reliable dispatch on trusted timelines. 2. Expert Sourcing of Artisanal & Organic Fabrics: I am your boots-on-the-ground partner for ethical sourcing. My network includes: i) Organic & Natural Fibers: Traceable, GOTS-standard, and sustainable textiles. ii) Heritage Craft: Collaborative work with nomadic pastoralists and artisan groups for indigenous wool and handloom textiles. iii) Innovation: Finalist in the Lexus Design Awards for cellulose-based alternatives; specialist in zero-waste apparel. 3. Strategic Mentorship for Start-ups: As a founder who successfully raised investment from IIM Ahmedabad and pivoted from D2C to B2B, I provide business strategy and brand development mentorship. I help new brands navigate the complexities of supply chains, pricing, and market positioning. My Proven Global Impact: 1) Award-Winning Production: Produced a zero-waste green apparel line for a London brand that won Gold at the Junior Design Awards. 2) Recognized Excellence: Alumna of the United Nations Women - Industry Disruptor Program and The DO School, Berlin. 3) Global Footprint: Successfully delivered collections tailored to the aesthetic and quality requirements of markets from Tokyo to New York.
