ETHICAL POLICY AND PROMISE

Our ethical policy at Indigowares – we are dedicated to creating garments and accessories designed to last. Both in wear and timeless style.

Our commitment is rooted in these core principles:

  • Natural and Eco-Friendly Azo free Dyes: We only use dyes derived from nature and from transparent ago free dye manufacturers, ensuring a gentle impact on the planet.
  • Ethically Sourced Materials: Every fabric and fibre we use is chosen with care and respect for the environment and those who produce it.
  • Repurposed Textiles and Garments: We breathe new life into vintage materials, transforming them into unique, sustainable pieces.
  • Full Traceability: Every garment tells its story, with transparency at every stage—from its origin to your wardrobe. We write blogs to help give the back story to everything we do.
  • Handcrafted Quality: Each piece is crafted with intention and care, showcasing the skill and artistry of our makers.

We are passionate about sharing the beauty and knowledge of traditional textile design, natural dyeing processes, and ethical production methods with our customers.

Since the beginning of my natural dyeing journey, environmental and social responsibility have been at the heart of everything we do at Indigowares. Together, we can celebrate thoughtful craftsmanship, sustainable choices, and the stories behind what we wear.

Indian Production

Our production takes place in Jaipur and Uttarakhand, India, where generations of artisans have perfected their craft.

I am committed to sharing the story of these creations with complete transparency—whether through blog posts, Instagram stories, or detailed product descriptions.

My mission is to celebrate and honour the incredible traditional skills and techniques of these artisans. By blending their rich heritage with contemporary designs, we create pieces that are timeless, collectable, and full of meaning.

Our Suppliers

At Indigowares, we have carefully streamlined our supply chain to ensure every supplier aligns with our values. We collaborate with skilled artisans in India to source key elements of our brand, such as natural dyeing, hand-stitched details, vintage kantha quilts, and indigo block prints.

To minimise our environmental impact, we communicate with our suppliers via email and video calls. This allows us to maintain strong relationships, oversee workshops, and connect with the talented tailors—without the need for long-haul flights.

We are committed to continuously reviewing and upholding ethical standards, guided by the International Labour Organisation’s Core Conventions.

Our goal is to ensure fair practices and respectful working conditions throughout every stage of production.

Packaging & Shipping

We put great care into how we package and deliver your orders. Our postage bags are made from grass paper and recycled kraft paper, ensuring they are 100% eco-friendly, recyclable, and fully compostable.

Inside your package, your order is wrapped in 100% recycled, un-dyed tissue paper—because every detail matters when it comes to eco friendly packaging.

We will always try our best.

At the heart of Indigowares is a commitment to designing and creating beautiful artisan pieces that will become cherished parts of your life—pieces that can be loved for years to come and perhaps even passed on to someone new.

By doing this, I hope to support both my suppliers and myself in making a living through what we love, in a way that leaves no negative environmental or social impact on the world. It’s our dream to continue sharing the incredible craftsmanship and passion of textile artisans, while highlighting the immense time, skill, and artistry that go into creating the world’s most beautiful textiles.

We take a practical approach to sustainability, always striving to improve. This ethical policy is a reflection of our ongoing journey—one that will continue to evolve and adapt as we discover new, dynamic ways of being eco-friendly.
