who makes your products?

Every re-wrap product is created by artisans within our production units in southern India. We actively work with women from different backgrounds, then train them in traditional sewing skills to handcraft our products and help them gain economic independence. Many of our women are the sole income earners for their families and they value working with re-wrap not only for the above average living wage, but for the skills they develop and the community and support they gain from working with other people in a similar position.

Our production enterprise in India is called Sanmaan, which means ‘honour, respect or high-value.’ This aptly captures our ethos, creating opportunities for people to develop skills that lead to them feeling independent and proud of what they do.

MYSORE

Our creation unit in Mysore first opened in 2009 with nine artisans, and now has almost 200. In 2018, we moved to a new premises that was designed with the well-being of our artisans and the environment in mind. It was built with our re-cycle, re-use, re-invent philosophy.

In 2021, we re-located our unit, spread over 20,000 sq. feet with an interior that provides wide open spaces. Spread over two floors, a ventilated space with fresh air and ample sunlight. Bearing the environment, our facility is entirely solar powered and the rainwater is harvested for our consumption. A patchwork of the colourful wraps we have created over the years adorn our walls and we have recycled old wooden doors and windows to frame the workstations and meeting rooms.

Our artisans look forward to coming in to work in this ambient new space.

Home Production

We provide the flexibility for some of our trained artisans to work from home, so they can find a good work-life balance. Sewing machines and raw materials are distributed and our inspection team monitors the home-sewing process. This allows our members to work independently, to gain confidence and also to become more entrepreneurial.

TRAINED IN ECO PRINTING

Our artisan printers are trained in screen, block and digital printing methods. We only use GOTS-approved pigments and dyes in our products. These are water-based, non-PVC and AZO-free.

Embroidery

re-wrap collaborates with hand embroidery groups in the region to offer bespoke additions to our products, such as embroidery details and embellishments. They are highly experienced and can customise our catalogue to suit your vision or brand. These artisans hand-embroider our business cards.
