Dress Folk
Overview
When thoughts become things
Over almost 65% of child labour across the globe is directly or indirectly employed by the fashion industry. Aren't we giving up too much, for too little?
Our Philosophy
When most of the country is busy moving towards international practices, we believe in making the best of the art we have here, at home.
Dressfolk, is a classic tale being re-written in the contemporary era. We are built on a foundation that idolizes a journey back to the very roots - of Indian heritage, traditional crafts and value for human lives.
Simple Thoughts
For us, it is about making statements that are simple, yet loud in thought.
Every time any high street brand launches a new collection, a lot of it looks exactly like its previous version. The market is clearly under utilizing its own indigenous resources: The Indian Crafts.
The dull monotony of this chain, perhaps needed to be broken - for everyone to find the one piece that is as unique as the wearer, as unique as them. With the vision of reviving Indian crafts, Dressfolk came to life. The thought is simple. Rooted Indian elements that translate into the wardrobe of contemporary lifestyle.
At Dressfolk, this spirit comes from our focus on finding the perfect textile and blending it with a traditional craft, almost seamlessly. We are rooted yet ever-changing, modern in thought, yet Indian at heart.
The Heart Of Dressfolk
The future of fashion and the planet relies on people – the people who hand-make our clothes, our employees and our customers.
We build the most ethically collaborative relationships with our local stakeholders - our artisans, and weavers to understand the complexities and contexts of our craft regions and crafts itself, with the intention to manage impacts on people and operate in the most responsible way possible.
We are our people - the thinkers, the makers and the wearers.
