At Awaz we continue to offer new
products to encourage sustainable living by fostering our existing long term
relationships with artisans and developing new ones. Utilizing these good
relations and sustainable supply chains allow us to source the highest quality
fibers that are mindful of the environment in which they are produced as well
as where they end up.
We are excited to announce an
expanded offering of natural fiber clothing for both Men and Women featuring
Organic Cotton from India, Cotton, Hemp and Wool blends from Nepal, Block
Printed Plant Dyes from India and 100% Alpaca Wool from Bolivia.
All our fabrics and garments are woven,
printed, embroidered and/or stitched by hand.
Our wide range of
casual to dressy styles gives you a great selection, from button up shirts to
everyday cotton leggings. We use traditional designs such as wood block
printing and hand-woven fabrics adapting them to western tastes and styles for
producing the highest quality natural fiber clothing.
Made for your active lifestyle,
these pieces take you from running around town to an evening out. Certified organic and fair trade fashions from
a women's co-op in Mumbai, India providing employment and economic independence
for over 200 women.
The cotton in our line of organic clothing comes from an organization of 6,000 cotton farmers in Maharashtra, a state that has been plagued by high debts and farmer suicide.
Cotton farmers in India often do not receive a fair enough price to cover production costs. Many farmers have been forced to borrow money at extortionate rates from predatory lenders. Unable to repay debts or support their families, suicide is common. In the Amravati district of Maharashtra, 5,000 farmers commit suicide every year. Your purchase of organic and fair trade clothing grows the organic movement and helps farmers regain their self-dignity.

Hemp comes in various
weights for making our bags, hats, belts, wallets and vests. The heavier Hemp
yarns are hand spun and hand woven in the villages providing a steady source of
employment and income. Our hemp yarns originate from natural wild hemp

Himalayas. It requires no cultivation or pesticides, is native, and has long
been an economic asset for the rural mountain villages.

high quality blend with long fibers for strength, warmth and durability.
In some cases we blend two fibers for our knitwear creating a 50/50 hemp/wool
blend.
