Handmade by Mumbai-based, slow fashion design studio, Runaway Bicycle.
The design principle of seeking comfort before form remains the driving force behind their pieces. Inspiration comes from the comfort found in the clothing of children and labourers engaged in physical tasks, effortless and relaxed pieces. So, the lightness of the fabric, its feel to the touch and how it breathes are the prime factors that are always considered.
Working only with organic cottons and handloomed silks that are naturally dyed, Azo-free compounds which are eco-friendly. Great care is taken to avoid the use of any chemicals during the treatment of the fabrics. They follow entirely sustainable practices.
Fabrics are woven by handlooms in west Bengal, Gujrat, using families of weavers who have passed their craft down from one generation to the next.
All stitching, apart from the delicate seams, is done by hand, as are the embellishments such as embroidery.
