Currently organic cotton is grown in states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Orissa and Gujarat.
Our organic cotton fabrics and sarees are made in Kutch region of Gujarat with our weavers who are a large community with each person doing one or the other type of weaving. They use natural colors and the dying process for color codes with the base of the fabric is mostly in white.
On an average the fabric takes 7-10 days to be weaved and is made on order basis as well.
