Purpose
Equiivalence believes in consumption that does not hamper nature’s balance. They use only cruelty-free, nature-approved materials and compensate fair, respectful wages to the highly skilled artisans behind each handcrafted product that reaches you. Creating fashion that is not bound by the seasonal cycles of the industry is important to them. All of the creations are made to last and are versatile.
People
They are currently working with 3 male artisans from Jaipur. It was a complex process to create products from recycled brass, from convincing artisans to work with something different and more time-consuming, to constantly bringing them into confidence about using recycled brass, to making them understand the importance of being mindful, conscious about raw materials, and wastage.
Planet
Jewelry manufacturing itself produces so much metal wastage which can be reused. Their artisans buy the brass wastage from factories, draw wires and sheets which are later used to make jewelry. Through this practice, they are trying to reduce the consumption of virgin brass.
