For one purchase you make, we plant one tree in your name. We send you an e-Tree Certificate with a code which links to a location marker showing where the tree was planted, so that you can track and trace your tree! 

With our 1=1 model, in partnership with social enterprise Grow-Trees, we address community, women and nature. Tree planting generates employment for women in the village, regulates the climate while improving the soil quality, which benefits farming communities.  

Do more with less: The reversible nature of your JIVA Kimono makes it handy to wear all through the year. Choose the lighter side in the day or the darker side when you’re heading out at night. The handy pockets on both sides are an added plus!

Design x Craft: Modern European design blends beautifully with centuries old handcrafting tradition, making your Kimono a piece to treasure.

Small Batch Production: Individually handmade by the artisans at Dhonk, produced in small batches ensuring every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. Block printed by hand using toxic-free colours, the JIVA Kimono is guaranteed to be your wardrobe essential for years to come.

Air, Sky, Earth, Water and Fire -- ancient Indian philosophy suggests that all of creation is made up of these five essential elements. Just as many ancient cultures integrate these elements into their daily rituals, we've named our JIVA (meaning Life) Kimonos after the core elements of nature, which co-exist in harmony. 

We believe in the power of a business to do good. Through our collections, which are guided by fair-trade principles, we aim to actively improve the lives of local communities, offering skills and support to drive sustainable development and women’s empowerment.

Our Commitment: We want to empower our artisan partners and be transparent with you, while offering you a versatile garment that is also handmade with respect. Your Kimono was made by skilled artisans of Dhonk in Ranthambore, Rajasthan.

By ensuring these artisans a steady income, fair trade and job satisfaction not far from home, you are ensuring that they stay close to their communities and their craft to offer you a product made out of love, dignity and gratitude. 

Thank you for being a part of our journey in responsible fashion.
