A Conscious Brand
Our sustainable mission
- To create slow fashion with focus on sustainability and ethical production
- To minimize our environmental impact
- To offer you an earth/people friendly alternative to the fast fashion brands
We are still far from perfect and are learning about sustainability and fashion everyday. There is lots of development going on, and we look forward to joining these developments.
Upcycling
All our products are made of upcycled fabrics. Vintage Sari fabrics are collected in West Bengal in India and stitched together by hand to create a new one of a kind Sari blanket, the base of each jacket & bag.
Not only the fabric is upcycled, also the labels are made of recycled material. Recycled tape to be more precise. Our paper tags, postcards and shipping bags are made of recycled paper.
By using sustainable alternatives, we aim to minimize waste and our CO2 footprint. At the same time we offer you an authentic product with a story from the past. Better for the planet, better for you.
Ethical production
We are very grateful for all the talented people helping us creating SARIH. We find it very important that our partners comply to the following standards:
- Fair wages
- Healthy and safe working environment
- No use of child labour
- No use of forced labour
- No excessive hours of work
Our partner factory is a family business located in Jaipur and complies to the above and is SEDEX & ISO 9001 certified. At the moment 100 people are working for our partner. On our socials we will show photos of the production process and introduce the people who made your clothes.
Buzz women
"A global movement by women and for women"
We believe that the education of women worldwide can change the world. Education of women empowers women to make their own choices, fight abuse, fight discrimination, marry later, invest in their communities and support education of the next generation.
SARIH wants to support women who don’t have access to education and personal development. That's why SARIH has decided to partner up with Buzz Women and donate €2.50 for every SARIH jacket sold.
Buzz Women is a global movement by and for women. Buzz Women brings transformation within reach by sharing knowledge, skills and tools to women in the most rural areas of India. This creates the enabling environment in which women can empower themselves and change the world together!
The Buzz Women training programs offer education, inspiration & network and enable women to ignite their personal and collective power. The interventions aim to set in place a permanent learning system led and owned by the women themselves.
Buzz Women was founded in India in 2012 and has grown into a global organisation with local offices in India, The Gambia, Georgia and The Netherlands. They have now reached over 450.000 women at their doorstep and this number is growing every day.
It's Buzz Women's ambition to enable 10 million women by 2030 to transform their lives and become drivers of progress for themselves, their communities and the world at large!
