Description
JIWYA is a purely plant-based fashion and lifestyle brand that creates apparel and textile products in our soil-to-soil ecosystem using 100% plant-based material, handmade practices and embeds over a hundred grassroots textile arts in their designs.
At JIWYA, we are decarbonising fashion, textile pollution, and woes of fast fashion by creating a soil-to-soil and slow fashion supply chain. We are a plant-based fashion and lifestyle brand creating women, gender neutral and mens apparel, as well as other textile verticals such as wall art, home furnishings etc. By using only renewable materials that are derived from the soil-from the first fibre to the last button. We rely on plant-powered innovation to create every raw material of our novel supply chain. A vertically integrated cycle of hand-dyeing, design, conception, product manufacturing and final quality check happens in-house, in a zero-waste production cycle. Each JIWYA apparel takes pride in ensuring the last thread, embellishment, fixtures or accessories on it are all handmade and plant-based. No plastics, no animals, no toxic chemicals or polluting dyes. Creating bespoke designs that are beautiful to the wearer's skin, the planet and the makers.
0% Harmful, 100% Plant-powered.
With our climate impact, we work on social impact to uplift a network of 100+ generational Indian textile artisans who create their textile art in purely plant based form with our support, in return we are able to employ a local workforce of 33000 people across India.
How we implement a soil-to-soil plant based supply chain:
- Sourcing plantfibers locally which primarily grow in dry farms and require low water consumption, as well as do not use pesticides.
- Sourcing plant-based colours through local small businesses who rely on forests, indigenous practices and preservation culture to source sustainable materials like flowers, leaves and tree bark. These then become the source of our colors and our plant-based mordants.
- Sourcing through local communities in regions of India where these plants grow abundantly, who depend on these fiber and plant-based materials for their livelihood.
- Yarn preparation is done through hand-spinning on charkas.
- Dyeing: Our in-house dyeing processes are proprietary, developed by our founders with over a decade of expertise in textile chemistry. This ensures that, even though the dyes come from plants, the colors are long-lasting and won’t fade. We use a fraction of the water compared to conventional dyeing methods and repurpose the leftover water in our garden, as only plant-based materials are used.
- Imbibing textile arts
- Yarns are dyed in-house and then sent for hand weaving to weavers across India who inculcate their traditional handloom or pit-loom styles as per requested design directives.
- Handwoven fabrics are either kept in inventory or sent to other artisans for hand-block printing or hand-embroidery. The yarns used for hand-embroidery are also dyed in-house with plant-based colors.
- After a thorough quality check, the fabrics are transformed into bespoke designs, thoughtfully curated to be timeless. These include women's wear, inclusive gender-neutral pieces, men's wear, and unique wall décor. The final apparel and wall art are available for purchase on our website, with a made-to-order feature and size customization to ensure the perfect fit for every customer.
- For packaging, we use locally sourced recycled paper boxes, kraft honeycomb paper for cushioning, bio-plastic compostable films, and paper tapes. Even the tags and labels are crafted from recycled paper and biodegradable ink, while our care labels are made from unbleached plant fibers.
- Each product comes with an EPR note from our RE:JIWYA program, offering a lifetime subscription for Repair, Revamp, and Reintroduction. We take full responsibility for our products, extending care and commitment throughout their lifecycle and beyond.
How we reach our customers:
-Primarily through our online channels, including our website and social media channels.
-Wellness and Conscious Pop-ups across major cities.
-SUVEM: our exclusive and self-curated exhibit that also invites like-minded and small business.
-Local events to promote climate impact entrepreneurs, women led businesses and women in climate.
How we implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
UN SDG 5: Gender Equality: We foster a workforce free from discrimination, actively ensuring equal representation of all genders. Our company is made up of full-time employees, consultants, partners, advisors, and artisans, all working together in a supportive and inclusive environment.
UN SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth: Having personally traveled 19,000 kilometers across India, we have built a network of over 100 grassroots artisans who, in turn, employ a local workforce. By incorporating their art into Jiwya products, we provide them with a steady livelihood and access to knowledge on safe working conditions and living wages. We engage directly with artisans to ensure fair pricing for their skills, always respecting the true value of their craft and never negotiating on time or compensation.
UN SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production: At Jiwya, we promote a mindset of buying less, but buying mindfully and with purpose. We encourage conscious decisions about the origins of materials used in everyday items like clothing. Through our zero-waste practices, zero-discharge dyeing, and limited collection releases, we advocate for a shift away from overconsumption. Clothing, as a basic necessity, doesn’t need to be replaced in excess. Instead, we believe that investing in fewer, higher-quality pieces—designed to fit your body and with a lower cost per wear—is a far more sustainable approach. Especially when these garments are made from plant-based materials that leave a minimal environmental footprint throughout their creation, lifecycle, and even after use.
As India’s first brand with an established Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program, we champion a repair culture, encourage revamping old clothes, and offer to buy them back for responsible upcycling or composting. Each Jiwya product is designed to biodegrade or be composted at home in the right water-microbe-soil ecosystem, ensuring a responsible end-of-life process.
UN SDG 12: Climate Action: We actively reduce the carbon emissions associated with textile production by replacing animal- and fossil fuel-based fibers and dyes with plant-based alternatives. By utilizing traditional handloom and pit-loom techniques, we minimize electricity usage in our production process. We also prioritize local sourcing to cut down on transportation emissions, and practice zero-waste production, upcycling all waste to reduce the burden on landfills. Our textile processing uses significantly less water, with any used water being responsibly redirected to enrich our soil, ensuring zero-discharge dyeing. Additionally, we upcycle materials like coconut shells and repurpose scraps into embellishments, avoiding microplastics such as glitter and sequins, which are harmful to the environment.
UN SDG 14: Life Below Water: We avoid using any harmful aquatic chemicals such as PFAS, phthalates, sulfates, and softeners that can persist in water systems and pose a threat to marine life. By exclusively using plant-based dyes, we ensure that any leftover water from our processes is safely repurposed to nourish our garden soil, contributing positively to the land.
UN SDG 15: Life on Land: We do not use any animal-derived materials or products, nor do we employ chemicals that could degrade soil quality or harm the animals that inhabit it. Our practices are rooted in sustainability, ensuring the health of both the land and its wildlife.
On a consumer front, we started our blog, newsletters and social media campaign to spread awareness about buying mindfully, conscious and planet-friendly products that are tailored for life, rather than being disposable or toxic. We actively share the transparency of our supply chain, which includes sharing the wages of our employees, the usage of plant-based renewable materials, our focus on the quality of apparel, through our many public platforms. Our website also offers a detailed description of our story.
On an artisan front, we are introducing renewable plant based fibers in the making of heritage textile arts, an effort to preserving them in the most native form. This involves training artisans, regularly sharing knowledge about how fossil fuel fibers and colors are polluting the environment, as well as implementing regular initiatives to improve working conditions.
On an industry front, we are a category creator in housing 100+ generation arts in a purely plant-based form and imbedding them in our products from start to finish. We hope through our curated exhibits, presence in conferences, our blogs, newsletters and social media channels, this messaging is clear and allows many more small businesses to follow the example.
- We are a for-profit brand that has created a plant-based business model and a slow fashion supply chain to create grassroots impact by using local, natural and renewable material to create apparel with the lowest possible carbon footprint.
- Transparency, ethics and inclusion: We are open about every person we work with, from artisans, to our staff, to the regions where the arts are sourced from. We openly communicate about our local sources of plant fibers and colors, which are used to produce our products. Through our workforce and products, we actively ensure inclusion and promotion of apparel that can be worn by all through our designs.
- We have developed an internal quality system, manufacturing, processing, production and EPR systems by the expertise of our co-founders (two textile scientists).
- We use well established business tools, regular reporting of our impact on our website, contracts with each partner, global advisors and consultants, certified testing and standards and we are now working on our LCA to create the carbon footprint of each product. We are also PETA Certified.
We let third party assessments speak for our credibility and evaluate us for our practices:
- PETA: We are PETA certified vegan approved, we do not use any animal fibers, products or derivatives in our product, manufacturing or packaging.
- COSH!: We have recieved a conscious marketplace impartial rating on our products and supply chain. We are the only Indian brand on COSH! to be impartially rated for our supply chain, products and slow fashion-preservation business model.
- Graduated from Stanford Seed Spark Program for 09 South Asia Cohort to establish a global impact business model of Jiwya.
- Developed on and practicing UN SDG 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
- Upcoming: Independent LCA study and ratings by Zero by WRI. While we actively list or impact on our website on water saved, carbon emissions abated, electricity saved and plastics stopped from usage, we want to do more. We are working on an LCA to give carbon footprint of each of our products, which we believe will be very low given our handmade production, plant-based raw materials and entirely local sourcing.
- Endorsed Collective Fashion Justice Manifesto, a total ethics manifesto designed to promote business to think about the planet, people, animals together in their business practices
