FABRIC MANUFACTURING
This fabric is manufactured and printed by Herbal Fab.
Herbal Fab are a small family run and GOTS certified fabric mill in North West India. They are committed to eco friendly and sustainable manufacturing of fabric.
The fabric is digitally printed, as this produces far less waste than traditional full-colour screen printing does.
Being GOTS certified means that not only is the fabric organic (and not from seeds owned by large multinationals) but also that there is no forced or child labour, and a living wage is paid.
