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. We strive to take the best of Indian Handmade in Cotton globally.
In line with the philosophy of 'Inclusive growth', Ethicus product represents a harmonious alliance that is woven together to ensure that each player in its textile value chain, from Farmer to the Artisan are respected & treated fairly. All Ethicus products carry tags with the name & picture of the traditional artisan & states the number of days taken to make the product. Thereby, giving due credit, restoring identity & making them feel proud of their work & heritage.
