We mixing old-fashioned processes with fashion-forward silhouettes and color palettes. Most of our fabrics are made using craft traditions such as hand loom weaving and hand block printing. But that’s just half the story– this is fashion with impact.

Manju, Asmita, and hundreds of other women artisans are the makers behind Mata’s fair trade fashion. They sew, string beads, and print textiles. They are members of cooperatives in India and Nepal that provide training, fair wages, and supportive benefits like health care and child care, literacy classes and financial education. Mata Traders believes that empowering women is the key to ending global poverty. Your Mata purchase directly benefits the artisans and their families, and in turn the women themselves strengthen their own communities.
