Circularity
Our pathway towards fashion is through creating circular textiles using indigenous knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and sharing that with the world. We create textiles using techniques with minimal to zero carbon footprints.
The Story of
The ultimate expression of Ginger in the world is the economic independence of disadvantaged women through fashion AND textiles. The designs are created by our team young designers and tailored by the women of Fempowerment Foundation on their way to their financial freedom. We work closely with artisans and help them morph their craft for the modern market and the new consumers of today. Fashion created in INDIA using Indian indigenous crafts for the international market.
With this purpose in mind, we also create custom Gingerblu textiles that are crafted purely from natural fibres - kala cotton, erisilk, bamboo, jute, hemp and others - and adroitly handled by traditional weavers and printers of India. Holding the thread of their culture tied to a needle as such, Gingerblu strives for economic independence for the women involved in this centuries-old generational skill. These skills are indigenous in nature and characterized by the incorporation of hand-woven designs, handprints in multitudinous forms including block-printing using azo-free dyes giving fair-trade opportunities to the local artisans.
We create both ; fashion and textiles ! A true effort in changing the face of the fashion industry for both consumers and designers to see fashion beyond its rose tinted lenses.
