Due to being handmade this item may have slight variations in colour, texture and print. But that's what makes it so beautiful and unique.
At Aware... the social design project we LOVE block printed clothing. It is firstly the preservation of culture, as block printing is a traditional form of fabric design. The process starts with the hand carving of the block of wood, then it is stamped onto the fabric.
Boom Shankar is made just near our own in house label in Pushkar, India and we have checked it out and are satisfied that they are an Australian brand that upholds high ethical production standards worthy of being included in our social re-design fashion collection.
This label is committed to the ethical production of their garments, minimising environmental waste and ensuring fair labour conditions for all our workers in Australia and in India.
They believe in fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours and a discrimination-free workplace.
Their production partners are 100% compliant with all health and safety requirements and receive fair work opportunities. Their factories have received a platinum certificate of compliance and have also received outstanding results from the Sedex members of Ethical Trade. The factories maintain all legally required environmental documents of compliance with related environmental regulation, and have conducted necessary air emission testing as required by law.
