BANJAARA

Aspiring to a slower, more conscious way of life, celebrating talented craftswomen as we go.

Our Core Principles

"When I started BANJAARA five years ago, I made three important promises; BANJAARA's trade would directly empower the producers, we would tell their stories and consider the planet in all our decisions." Ruby, founder

Empowerment

Financially empowering rural, marginalised women through meaningful livelihood opportunities is a core focus of BANJAARA. We proudly act as a bridge that connects rural female artisans with the international slow fashion market, crafting ethical and sustainable garments.

Storytelling

Storytelling is import to us. We believe that slow fashion can have a transformative impact for our craftswomen. We want to show this by amplifying their voices, highlighting their stories of empowerment and progress. The fashion value chain should uplift everyone involved, from the producer through to the consumer.

Planet

We use the softest, highest grade cottons, wool and recycled fabrics for our garments which are made in small batches to significantly reduce waste. Our colours are all made from plant-based dyes. We make every effort to preserve ancient hand-made manufacturing techniques that use less energy than modern approaches.
