It is a conscious clothing label and a strong believer in sustainable design and working with communities. It speaks of and for artisans, their skills and challenges and lending it form, shape and accent are its storytellers, designers Ruchi Tripathi and Jaya Bhatt, textile design graduates from Delhis National Institute of Fashion Technology.
Indigene started with a passion for traditional textiles and handcrafted techniques. Its brand ethos emerged from this passion, and from an intuitive perspective on artisanal clothing, making a larger, yet deeply personal, statement through every piece, every detail. It is about ease and comfort, about keeping it stylish yet modest, celebrating the essence of the maker.
Indigene takes great pride in its partnership with artisans and local communities, involved at several stages of creation of a garment. Following a long yet ethical supply chain, it strives to keep intact its identity as a handmade and ethically crafted label. Each Indigene product goes through several hands and geographies, bringing together a tapestry of stories and cultures.
