Statistics reveal that the fashion industry produces as much as 20% of the global waste water. Nearly 17 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills every year. Considered as one of the major contributors to the surging waste problem, the textile industry has started to proactively implement new waste management techniques and processes from time to time.
The towering wave of awareness and education led to the birth of sustainable fashion as a commercial concept, especially in the West. However, the age-old concept of reusing Katran or fabric scraps has been prevalent in India since ages. Women and old wives would bask in the winter sun and stitch patches of fabric to make exquisite bedsheets, bags, clothing item, telephone covers and what not!
At Kessa, we are reviving the concept of reusing Katran while fusing it with modern design to satiate the modern needs.
