Let's face it. We've lost touch. With where things came from. With the journey things take before we buy them. With the makers. With the impact our choices have on the Planet.
We are here to change that.
We create positive impact by connecting you to the humans behind your clothes. Empowering women to earn a living wage while regenerating their environment.
Together, we create beauty. A different kind of beauty, where every choice changes the world for the better.

REGENERATIVE FARMING
Your clothes start from the Earth. But the way it’s currently grown is laden in chemicals, deep tilling and monoculture, resulting in soil degradation and biodiversity loss.
Since 2020, we have been working with indigenous women farmers to transition into regenerative farm. By planting a diverse mix of plants around the cotton and Indigo plants, it mimics an abundant forest ecosystem, improving soil quality, reduces pests naturally. The result is increased revenue for small-farmers while creating long lasting benefits for the planet.
NO DEFORESTATION
Using natural dyes and fibres are great - but not when it involves cutting down our forests. That's why we go down to the field, certifying and working directly from farmers who are trained in our Zero Harm sourcing principles:
- No cutting of trees (our Terminalia Belirica fruits)
- Upcycled from agricultural waste (our Mahogany wood and banana stem)
HANDCRAFTED
Each #MadeRight piece takes at least 30 days to craft and supports 8 families. Our handwoven fabrics are crafted in Medono village, Central Java, while the beautiful Batik are drawn by hand. No screen or digital printing here, because we want to be able to impact as many women as possible.
FIGHTING PLASTIC WASTE
Since 2016, we've eliminated the use of single-use polyplastics in our entire supply chain. Our packaging is plastic free, upcycled using our own scraps or training fabrics. Each is hand-knotted by mothers in Medono village with waste threads from our handwoven fabrics. That's why receiving your package always feel like receiving a gift from a dear friend <3!
LITTLE THINGS MATTER
Our buttons are from made from waste mother-of-pearls and supports the livelihoods of 12 women in Makassar, Indonesia. Our labels are made of 100% cotton, handmade in Jogjakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Our threads use 100% traceable, certified recycled Polyester.
CLOSING THE LOOP
Each of our clothes come with a promise of free repairs. But even the most well made and essential of garments will reach a point when you don't want them anymore. But that doesn't mean they're done for. We want them back - so we can keep them in use, and out of landfill through our #ReMadeRight program.
