Where we make it
Our factories.
We don't own factories — we partner with them. Five small, women-led ateliers across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu stitch every Krithi piece. Each partner is audited every six months for fair wages, safe conditions, and transparent ownership.
Our partner ateliers
Four small studios, one shared commitment to quiet quality.

What we audit, every six months
These are the five commitments we ask every partner to hold to. Copies of the audit reports are available on request.
Fair wages, paid on time
Every artisan earns above the Karnataka/Tamil Nadu minimum wage, paid monthly in verified bank accounts.
Safe, lit workspaces
Natural light, ergonomic seating, clean washrooms, and fire-safety audits every six months.
Reasonable hours
No compulsory overtime. Breaks every two hours. Overtime, when needed, is opt-in and paid 1.5x.
Majority women-led
All four of our current partners are led by women, with women making up 85% of the tailoring teams.
Fabric waste tracking
Cut-waste is measured per batch and donated to upcycling initiatives or used in our packaging.
