Garment Journey
Hemp Fabric: Nature's Gift to Fashion
Our journey begins with the selection of fabric. Awari Studio uses hemp, a remarkable material known for its sustainability. Hemp requires significantly less water and pesticides compared to conventional cotton, making it an eco-friendly alternative. It grows rapidly, improves soil health, and absorbs more CO2 than trees. By choosing hemp, we reduce our environmental footprint and support sustainable agriculture.
Water and Energy Efficient Processing
The processing phase is crucial in minimizing our ecological impact. At Awari Studio, we have implemented innovative techniques that consume minimal water and energy. Traditional fabric processing is notorious for its high resource consumption, but our advanced methods ensure that we leave a lighter footprint on the planet. This efficiency is a testament to our dedication to eco-friendly practices.
Digital Printing: Precision with Purpose
Our garments are digitally printed, a method that is significantly more sustainable than conventional printing. Digital printing requires less water, produces minimal waste, and uses less energy. This technique allows us to create intricate designs with precision while maintaining our commitment to the environment. It’s a perfect blend of technology and sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Inks and High-Quality Machines
We use GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified eco-friendly inks, known for its low environmental impact and high quality. Paired with the latest Konica Minolta high-quality machines, our printing process ensures that our designs are vibrant, durable, and safe for the planet. These inks are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring that our production process is as green as possible.
Rigorous Fabric Quality Check
Sustainability doesn't stop at choosing eco-friendly materials; it extends to ensuring those materials meet our high standards. Every batch of fabric undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure durability and comfort. This step is crucial in producing garments that are not only eco-friendly but also long-lasting, promoting a sustainable fashion ethos.
Empowering Women Through Pattern Making
At Awari Studio, we believe in empowering communities. Our patterns are meticulously crafted by skilled women artisans. This not only ensures a high level of craftsmanship but also supports gender equality and economic empowerment. By involving women in the creative process, we celebrate their talents and contribute to their financial independence.
Women-Led Sample Production
Samples are an essential part of our design process, and at Awari Studio, these are created by women artisans. This initiative provides them with valuable skills and employment opportunities. By investing in their growth, we foster a supportive and inclusive work environment, reinforcing our commitment to social sustainability.
Embracing Slow Fashion
We champion the slow fashion movement, which emphasizes quality over quantity. Our sampling process is thorough and deliberate, ensuring that every piece is perfect before it goes into production. This mindful approach reduces waste and encourages thoughtful consumption, aligning with our sustainability goals.
Coconut Shell Buttons: Nature’s Touch
Even the smallest details matter at Awari Studio. We use coconut shell buttons, a natural and biodegradable alternative to plastic. These buttons add a unique touch to our garments while staying true to our eco-friendly values. Using natural materials helps reduce our reliance on synthetic, non-renewable resources.
Partnering with Women-Owned Businesses
Our entire manufacturing process is in partnership with women-owned businesses. This collaboration extends our impact beyond our immediate team, supporting female entrepreneurs and promoting economic diversity. By choosing to work with women-led enterprises, we contribute to a more equitable and sustainable industry.
Eco-Friendly Labels and Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability is evident right up to the final product. Our labels and packaging are made from recycled and biodegradable materials. This ensures that our garments arrive at your doorstep with minimal environmental impact, reinforcing our dedication to eco-friendly practices.
