Sustainability

The aim of Raf & Grace is to work with materials that are already in existence. Working with fabrics that have already been manufactured and are available to use. 

Many of our garments are made from recycled and surplus fabrics. What does this mean ? 

Sari Silk Fabrics - The suppliers we work with in Northern India source these sari silks from all over India. They piece together the discarded sari silks and deadstock fabric. The small factory in India then piece together the fabrics in some cases panelling the different fabrics together to make the garments. Each garment they make is totally unique. 

Due to the nature of the fabric and how the garments are manufactured by repurposing the fabrics there can be imperfections in the fabric. Each garment does tell its own story and in buying these garments you are supporting this small factory in Northern India and preventing these beautiful fabrics from going to landfill. The fabrics with vary from garment to garment and there may be some small imperfections in the fabrics due to the nature of the products. 

The composition is on average 80% silk and 20% polyester however this can sometimes vary and be a viscose blend. Please look after this stunning repurposed and one of a kind garment. Wash it separately on a cool hand wash. Love it. Wear it. Enjoy it. Nobody else has one like yours!

Cotton Quilted Jackets & Metallics Collections - These collections are made slowly with a small manufacturer in northern India. We work with them to source fabrics that are surplus. Either left over from other manufacturing or made and never used. The fabrics are of a high quality. We source them slowly and then repurposed them into our best selling shapes. 

Recycled Plastic Accessories - Working with a small supplier in India we work with recycled plastics making them in bags.
