Genderless Yukata - Handmade

"FolkCharm is an ethical enterprise that partners with natural cotton farmers, artisanal communities and local craftswomen to present apparels and products with the right blend of contemporary living and traditional wisdom. Our textile is known for its hand-spun yarn, handloom process and local techniques of natural dyeing. The 100% locally sourced chemical-free and organic cotton also comes with great benefits of gentleness to skin, natural comfort. 50% from our sales goes directly back to makers, we up-cycle our off-cut fabric into new products, and 90% of our packaging is recycled or biodegradable.

Ethical • Respecting Crafts(wo)manship: Our products are crafted by rural communities where we work together with them under an honest cost-structure. In return for their work our artisans receive return for their skills and techniques, rather than settling for the ‘amount sell able’ where loss is often the case.

The three core values of our work are:
Fairness : Fair financial return for livelihood. Fair to the environment. Fair to their health.

Mutual Interest : Ensuring the understanding of our business model that we are not a non-profit, emphasizing that their continued quality work has a direct impact on our enterprise’s sustainability which, in return, provide them lasting income.

Opportunities : No interest loans (through provision of tools and materials) for those who lack capital to get started. Providing support on capacity building and design development. Awareness of access to market. Growing together through trial and error.
