Read such stories & the history of textile traditions through our blog 'TEXTILE STORIES'. Our 'COTTON TRAIL' connects us with our customers, travellers & masters of craft, designers & writers, students & artisans from across the world. It is a journey that unfolds the story of 'COTTON', right from its sowing to the harvest & the final product. It forges a tenuous link between the environment, the farmer, the cotton ginner & spinner, the designer, the traditional cotton weaver at Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, India.

Ethicus is India’s first ‘Farm to Fashion Organic & Sustainable Fashion Brand'. It was founded by the husband & wife duo of Mani Chinnaswamy, a third generation ginner and cotton contract farming pioneer & Vijayalakshmi Nachiar, the creative director of Ethicus. They grow their own Organic Cotton which is branded as ‘Eco-Logic Cotton’. This enables them to source the best long & extra long staple cotton that is used across all their products. They have established a Handloom Design Studio in their hometown Pollachi in Tamilnadu, India and work with local handloom weavers & traditional artisans from all over the country to create world class textiles for their customers in India & all over the world.
Every Ethicus product is grown organically & processed mindfully. Organic cotton is naturally soft and strong, it’s free from pesticides & harsh chemicals, requires less water and energy to produce than conventional cotton. Not only is Organic Cotton good for the soil & the environment, it is good for the people who grow, make & use them. Ethicus recognizes the efforts of the Organic Cotton farmers by adding tags to every product to sensitize their customers on the significance of the ‘Ecologic Cotton Project’.
We are rooted in heritage but geared for innovation. Our process is slow. Our Cotton is handpicked & hand graded. Our fabrics are hand woven. Our philosophy is to BUY LESS, CHOOSE WELL & USE MORE. We are mindful of our choices & are not trend driven We work with traditional artisans & craft persons to create timeless pieces that are meant to last. We create livelihoods rurally.
