Indigo Handloom: Fashion with a Mission

smitapaul2.jpgIndigo Handloom founder Smita Paul always had an independent streak. A former professional journalist, she found she did her best work as a freelancer. As she explains:

I love the freedom and adventure of coming up with an idea and seeing it to fruition. The thrill of watching an idea grow - there is no bigger high!

wooly_sequins_desc.jpgThis same spirit led Paul to found Indigo Handloom, a Brooklyn-based importer of gorgeous handloomed scarves and fabrics from India and South Asia. Handloom is part of the growing eco-textiles movement because it leaves no environmental footprint and requires no energy other than human energy to produce.

Purchase one of these Indigo Handloom's scarves, and know that your money is helping to support artisans and craftspeople around the world.

Check out Indigo Handloom.
