Plant-based fibres: pure cotton, pure hemp, linen and blends, and also Tencel and Bemberg (cupro), which are made from plant cellulose. Each piece’s page names its cloth and the percentage of each fibre in any blend.

Hemp cloth is woven from fibres in the stem of the hemp plant. The fibres sit just under the bark, are spun into yarn and then woven into cloth. Each piece’s page says whether its cloth is pure hemp or a blend.

Lyocell is a fibre made from cellulose in wood pulp. The cellulose is dissolved and spun into new fibres. Tencel is a brand name for lyocell, so Tencel is always lyocell, but not all lyocell is Tencel.

Cupro is a fibre made from cellulose in cotton linter, the short fibres left on cotton seeds. The cellulose is dissolved in a solution of copper and ammonia and spun into new fibres. Bemberg is a brand name for cupro.

Khadi is an Indian cloth woven by hand from yarn that is also spun by hand, from cotton, silk or wool. Each piece’s page names its cloth.

Handloom is the loom, one worked by hand with no motor. Handwoven describes the cloth, woven by hand, usually on such a loom. In everyday use the two words mean nearly the same. The opposite is mill-woven cloth. We use both handwoven and mill-woven cloth.

Slow fashion is the opposite of fast fashion: fewer pieces, made with more care and meant to be worn for a long time. Our pieces are sewn after booking.

The cloth is dyed by hand with natural dyes, so the shade can shift from batch to batch. The photographs are shot in natural light, so the colour may differ slightly from your piece.

Wash only when it really needs it, in cold water with a very mild detergent, or just rinse in water with a little vinegar. Wash separately and dry in the shade. Do not iron, steam instead. No dry cleaning. Plant-dyed colour fades over time.

We do not claim that our pieces are chemical-free. What we can say is specific: the cloth comes from plant-based fibres and is dyed by hand with natural dyes or left undyed. Each piece’s page names its cloth and, if it is dyed, what dyed it.

Yes, natural dye colour fades over time. Wash only when it really needs it, in cold water with a very mild detergent, and dry in the shade, and the colour lasts longer.

With natural dyes: flowers, leaves, bark, fruit peel and roots, among them indigo, sappanwood, madder, catechu, henna, myrobalan and turmeric. Some cloth is eco-printed by hand with teak leaves, one blouse is dyed with lac, which comes from an insect, and some cloth is left undyed. It is dyed by hand by our partners in India, and the cloth is dried in the sun. Each dyed piece’s page says what dyed its cloth.

Materials are sourced from GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Sedex, Silk Mark and ISO certified vendors. We hold no environmental certification of our own, and we do not call the cloth organic. What we can tell you is what each cloth is and what dyed it, on every piece’s page.

Say it “BHUD-rum”, like “bud” and “rum”. The name comes from the Malayalam word ഭദ്രം, which means safe. People also write it Badram, Bhadram or Badhram, and all of those mean us.
