OUR MATERIALS & PRODUCTION
At Hindostan Archive, each garment is a narrative woven from the threads of heritage, artistry, and conscious innovation. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every facet of our creation process, where tradition meets thoughtful design.
Natural Dyes: The Palette of the Earth
We honor the ancient art of dyeing by utilizing natural sources such as turmeric, myrobalan, indigo, pomegranate rind, and mud. These elements yield rich, earthy tones that enhance our garments' aesthetic appeal and reflect our dedication to environmentally considerate practices.
Organic and Handwoven Fabrics: Threads of Tradition
Our selection of fabrics—including kala cotton, khadi, pashmina, and handwoven silks—is cultivated without synthetic pesticides, preserving the integrity of the materials and the environment. Each textile is a testament to the skill of traditional weavers, embodying a legacy of craftsmanship that transcends time.
Traditional Craftsmanship: The Artisan's Touch
Our designs pay homage to traditional techniques through handweaving, embroidery, and knitting. Collaborating with award-winning artisans, we infuse each piece with their expert touch, ensuring that every garment carries the soul of its maker.
Handcrafted Embellishments: Details That Delight
Attention to detail is paramount. Our garments feature handcrafted embellishments using materials like mother of pearl, Gütermann® threads, horn, and wood. These unique accents elevate each piece, adding a distinctive character that resonates with discerning connoisseurs.
Transparent Supply Chain: Integrity in Every Step
We uphold transparency throughout our supply chain, from sourcing to the final product. By focusing on low-impact materials and minimizing waste, we reinforce our commitment to responsible production. Textile off-cuts are thoughtfully repurposed into new items, exemplifying our dedication to circular fashion.
