From Shaila, owner/founder of Natural Habitat: India is well known for its handmade textiles. The variety of traditional textiles and range of products is immense. I developed a passion for Indian textiles as a child when I travelled with my mother to observe these great craftsmen at work. This and the enthusiasm of the craftspeople producing them inspired us to start Natural Habitat with these objectives in mind:
- To produce goods in regions with cottage industries where traditional production techniques are used. To help them sustain these industries and allow the craftspeople to continue their trade profitably.
- Use natural fibers for all textile products. All printing is hand printed, embroidery hand done, applique and cutwork hand cut and sewn.
- Produce goods in as ecologically friendly an environment as is possible.
