ARTISANAL NOTE

In 1994, Nivedita Banerji started Kumbaya as a stitching centre in a remote village in Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh. Today, over 100 women from marginalised communities work in Kumbaya Producer Company Ltd, where employment is guaranteed for 300 days a year.

Banerji says nothing is considered waste at Kumbaya, with leftover waste being reused to make another garment besides creating sustainable fabrics. “We have always re-used dead stock discarded by industrial fabric units and bought hand-woven and other artisanal cotton fabric made by skilled craftspeople across the country. I want to make Kumbaya work more on circular fashion and design,” she adds.

Materials and care

Zazi items are handmade with carefully selected natural materials without the use of synthetic chemicals. To cherish your handcrafted Zazi dress for a longer time, please handle it with care.

This handwoven fabric feels smooth on the skin and falls softly on the body.
Due to the hand dyed and handwoven nature of the fabric, there might be color and motif variations making each piece one of a kind.
Protect from heavy rain or heat. Should it become wet, we advise to air dry.
Washing by hand is advised to maintain quality of thread and colour.
