15% of the fabric is wasted during the cutting and making of the garment. These bits and pieces of waste are called katarans. 

Our process starts with collaborating with various industries from where the scraps come to our head office. It is then assorted as per different tones and sizes and we then curate samples as per our design language, where all kinds of waste are used. 

The waste is further moved to the weaving process, where it is sanitised, cut and used as main panels. The smaller cutouts from our patterns are further stamped to be used as our swing tags. Whereas the minute bits and pieces are used as surface embellishment over the bags. We intend to leave not even a single scrap behind.
