The Raja Pura products are designed in Portugal by me and later made in India under my supervision. What does this mean?
It means that I travel to India every year to oversee the entire production process. I work in family-run workshops with trusted people, where labour rights are respected, offering fair working conditions.
At Raja Pura, we value the local workforce and for this reason we also work with groups of women. They carry out the "Block Print" work and make certain specific items, such as: silk kimonos, silk skirts, and silk trousers.
🔱We are a Slow Fashion brand
We encourage the production of durable and timeless clothing.
We take into account the environmental impact that textile production has on the world and so, this is what we do:
Reusing
Our collections include recycled materials.
We transform the old clothes worn by Indian women, the saris, into new garments or accessories. Each of these fabrics is chosen one by one by me and carefully reused.
Zero Waste
We reuse the leftovers
We make accessories from the leftover cloth from our productions: coloured silk bags to hold your items when you make a purchase, scarves, ribbons, hair ties, and bags for our costume jewellery.
Fabrics
In addition to saris, we work with:
- Organic cotton
- Traditional old Indian hand-embroidered fabrics.
- Fabrics leftover from productions of other major brands.
Small family workshops and women's collectives
Where our production is made
In 2010, when I went to India for the first time, I met all the people I still work with today! It is a wonderful journey, where we all saw ourselves grow: professionally and within our families. Some of these people were also starting their businesses! This means that nowadays, clothing production is their family livelihood.
