Our Artisan Tailors
In the foothills of the Himalayas in the spiritual town of Rishikesh, Kin cuts and stitches your clothing with love. He is the Master Ji, and a very humble man.
He brings not just skill, but spirit. In every thread, a whisper of the Himalayas. In every seam, the care of a father, a maker, a man of this land.
His wife, Nita, makes chapatis and chai in the breaks. This is a family business and a family effort. No mass production here. No collections and only small batches.
Every Cotton Conscious garment is handmade in this warm environment, keeping the old charm of the Indian tailor alive. Kin and the team are fairly paid directly by us. Locally made. Rooted in slow fashion, with a conscious intent.
Why the People Who Make Our Clothes Matter
Our clothes don’t begin with a factory or a production line. They begin with people we know.
We work with a small group of tailors, printers and weavers in India, building relationships over time rather than moving production from one supplier to another. Their knowledge of cloth, cutting, stitching and printing is part of every piece we make.
Working in small quantities also means there is room for the human side of making. Fabrics vary, prints are never completely identical and sometimes things take a little longer than expected. We wouldn’t want to remove those differences — they are part of what makes handmade clothing what it is.
For us, knowing who makes our clothes matters just as much as knowing what they are made from.
