About Jyoti - Fair Works
Jyoti - Fair Works is a German-Indian fair fashion label that produces socially and ecologically sustainable clothing and accessories. The brand was founded by Jeanine, who wanted to challenge the conventional fashion industry and create a positive impact for the people and the planet.
Jyoti - Fair Works is committed to sustainability in every aspect of its production process. The brand uses mainly organic cotton that is GOTS certified, fair and free from harmful chemicals. The brand also works with small family businesses and cooperatives that weave, print and dye the fabrics with traditional techniques and natural colors. Jyoti - Fair Works aims to minimize waste and resource use by designing timeless and high-quality pieces that can be worn for many years.
Jyoti - Fair Works also cares about the social well-being of its workers and producers. The brand operates three stitching workshops in India, where it employs more than 20 women from marginalized or disadvantaged backgrounds. The women receive an education as seamstresses, a permanent employment, a fair salary, health checks and opportunities for training. The brand works in close cooperation with local NGOs that support the women and their communities.
Jyoti - Fair Works is not only a fashion label, but also a medium to start a discussion about the value of clothes and the work that goes into them. The brand wants to promote a vision for a different textile industry that is more human and environmental friendly, instead of profit-oriented. The brand is transparent about its supply chain, its challenges and its achievements. Jyoti - Fair Works invites its customers to wear their story and join the movement for a more fair and sustainable fashion.
