Nila Rubia at Conscious Apparel

Nila Rubia is an incredibly talented designer who manufactures in India using traditional artisan tecniques such as handblock printing and kantha work.

All the ethical fashion boxes are ticked with Nila! Nila is committed to ethical fashion and works with small family run cottage industries and with families who have made textiles and clothing for 700 years. The fabrics are gorgeous: ethically sourced organic cottons, bamboo silk/linen and warm woven wools, with merino wool added, for extra softness. The jacquard weave wools are woven in Amritsar before being made into garments in Jaipur. Azo free dyes are used and natural vegetable dyes are used wherever possible. These garments use authentic traditional techniques. The work is done by highly skilled craftspeople to a very high quality and often the lady artists who sew the garments can work in their own homes, incorporating the work into their everyday lives.
