At Projecthrive, all artisan design collaborations begin with consent, credit, and compensation. This farm to closer program traces back to farms in rural Gujarat and Karnataka and revives Indigenous varieties of cotton that are rain-fed and grown organically without chemicals and fertilizers. The fabrics are also hand-spun, hand-woven and natural dyed by artisans. Not only do these fabrics support local communities, they help soil and water tables regenerate since they are not waterthirsty, sequester atmospheric carbon and grow in balance with the local ecosystem. Projecthrive has partnered with these communities to bring these fabrics to the international market as an alternative to BT and organic cotton.
Projecthrive has been working with Indigenous cotton farmers, local hand spinners, handloom weavers, and natural dye communities to revive Indigenous cotton since 2016.

When you choose to partner with an artisan community, not only do you make a sustainable sourcing decision but also create economic opportunity and preserve cultural heritage.
In sharing the unique stories of how these crafts are made and in acknowledging the makers and their heritage you help give unseen artisans due recognition.
