Embark on a journey with Flourish Planet as we celebrate the artistic brilliance of Rias Jaipur: Where tradition and sustainability intertwine.
In the heart of Rias Jaipur's creations lies a meticulous 11-hour journey. Artisans delicately weave cotton yarn, employing an extra warp technique to create the enchanting kantha effect. The scarves, a canvas of vibrant hues, emerge through an intricate process of hand-printing with wooden blocks and a palette of natural colors.
The detailed production process involves choosing cotton yarn, manual weaving, applying an extra warp technique, hand-carving wooden blocks, preparing azo-free colors, and carefully executing the blocking process.
Beyond the threads and dyes, Rias Jaipur weaves a narrative of impact. They prioritize authentic storytelling for their artisans, adhere to fair trade practices, provide global market access for co-operatives, and actively contribute to cultural preservation for future generations.
With a dedicated team of 20-25 artisans, Rias Jaipur ensures their integral role in the process. Adopting looms for year-round production, the brand maximizes profits for artisans and focuses on skill development.
The brand also champions low environmental impact by working with renewable resources.
Rias Jaipur's commitment to sustainability extends to fabric making. Handspun, handwoven, and hand-printed fabrics undergo a meticulous process with natural, azo-free dyes. Zero waste production is a priority, with cutting waste repurposed for recycled products.
