Unsustainable Magazine: Why Stitch by Stitch Supports Sustainable Cotton Production

As a socially and environmentally responsible textile brand, Stitch by Stitch is committed to promoting sustainable, artisanal textile production which enhances cultural livelihoods with our collection of handmade kantha quilts and cushions. That is why we are proud to be working with an organisation in the heart of Kutch in Gujarat, India, preserving the cultivation of indigenous Kala cotton, and supporting local farmers and craft-based textile production.

Kala Cotton: Organic and Sustainable

At Stitch by Stitch we're committed to promoting sustainable, artisan textile production which enhances cultural livelihoods. That's why we're proud to be working with an organisation in the heart of Kutch in northwest India, preserving the cultivation of indigenous kala cotton, or Old World cotton, and supporting local hand weavers.

A Visit to our Kala Cotton Weavers

Graham is currently in sunny India visiting our amazing textile artisans in the remote Kutch (or Kachchh) region, west of Ahmedabad in Gujarat.

These regular visits are vital for us to keep in close contact with our suppliers, and build the relationships that mean we can bring more amazing, hand made textiles to you!

Maison et Objet, Paris

We've just returned from exhibiting at premier interiors trade fair Maison et Objet in Paris. And what a whirlwind! It was our fourth time exhibiting, and our most successful to date.

Our stand was bigger and we had a great position in Hall 1 - now rebranded the "Eclectic" hall, (and, according to many retailers, THE hall to find the most interesting and unexpected products).

Preparing for Maison et Objet

We're looking forward to exhibiting again at Maison et Objet in Paris at the beginning of September. It's always a bit of a mad dash to get everything ready at the end of the summer, but we always feel energised after our holidays and ready to put our all into the business again!
