A House Of Natural Dye

A House of Natural Dyes.

TRENDING

At the Heart of Who We Are

We are a house of natural dyes, dedicated to slow fashion and sustainability.

We create timeless textiles without verproduction, using only plant and mineral-based dyes that are free from chemicals.

Our sustainable process spans from raw materials to finished pieces.

Where Art Meets Empowerment

The most important facet of our work is the empowerment of the specially-abled—we have trained and mentored 48 artisans with disabilities, helping them achieve self-reliance, confidence and distinction.


Our purpose is clear: to leave a gentle footprint on the earth and an uplifting impact on people.

Crafting Art from Nature’s Palette

At Aranya, we create handcrafted textiles that celebrate nature and tradition.

Using techniques like Shibori, Natural Dyeing, Eco-Printing, Batik and Block Printing, we transform fabrics — handloom cotton, kala cotton, handwoven linens and silks — into wearable art, home linens and art pieces.

Inspired by the flora and fauna of Munnar’s hills and valleys, our dyes come from plants, roots and flowers, while our eco-prints capture the natural shapes and colours of leaves and blossoms, making every piece authentic, unique and timeless.

No two eco-printed pieces are the same; each displays a distinct arrangement of leaves and flowers.

We also welcome custom design requests, thoughtfully turning ideas into sustainable, handcrafted reality.

Authentic

We follow time honoured techniques, honed through years of study and mentorship. Our authentic Shibori practices, guided by Yoshiko Wada, are a testament to this rich heritage.

Ethical

We ensure our artisans are valued, respected and fairly supported for their work

Sustainable

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, not only in safeguarding our planet’s future through upcycling and environmentally conscious practices, but also on a human level by creating sustainable livelihoods.

Timeless

In a world of fast fashion, our pieces are crafted with care — timeless creations meant to be cherished for years to come

Our Commitment to Sustainable Craft

Everything at Aranya Natural is done with the environment in mind. From sourcing to production, we ensure that our creative practices nurture the planet as much as they inspire people.

All leaves and flowers used for eco-printing are returned to the earth through composting, enriching the soil for Vatika’s organic farms.

Fabric cut-waste is thoughtfully upcycled into new garments and handcrafted jewellery, giving materials a second life.

Every stage of our work is designed to minimize waste and encourage circular use of resources.

We remain committed to ensuring that no process harms nature, staying true to Srishti Trust’s vision of mindful, environmentally responsible craft
