DESI TRUST

Developing Ecologically Sustainable Industry

An initiative to connect conscious urban consumers to eco-friendly choices and products made by rural artisan communities, and create awareness towards a sustainable lifestyle.

Ecological Impact

Striving for minimum ecological impact due to adoption of methodologies that are least damaging.

Sustainability

Reviving traditional practices of Natural dyeing and Hand operated processes to ensure least ecological impact and lesser dependence on machinery.

Rural Empowerment

Promoting rural enterprises by providing alternative means of livelihood to villagers and augmenting their income in ecologically sensitive areas.

Affordability

Ensuring that the products are priced fairly for both the producer and consumer to make them affordable.

About 70% of the fabric being sold in the markets today as Handloom is actually powerloom fabric. Since it is not easy to find out, this leaves the consumers cheated. Also, it is one of the greatest threats faced by Handloom weavers as it eats away into their share of the market. We need to be able to trace the source of the fabric and build transparency in the entire supply chain to ensure the end weaver is benefitted.
