The fashion industry stands at a crossroads. While fast fashion dominates global markets, there's a growing movement toward sustainability and ethical practices. At RangSilk, we're proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, building an ecosystem that empowers artisans while delivering exceptional products to conscious consumers.

The Challenge of Traditional Craftsmanship

India is home to millions of skilled artisans whose families have practiced traditional crafts for generations. Yet, many of these talented individuals struggle to earn a living wage from their skills. The rise of mass production and global supply chains has marginalized these craftspeople, threatening not just their livelihoods but entire cultural traditions.

Our Sustainable Business Model

RangSilk operates on a simple yet powerful principle: fair trade that benefits everyone in the supply chain. We work directly with artisan cooperatives, eliminating middlemen who often exploit both craftspeople and consumers. This direct relationship ensures that artisans receive fair compensation for their work while maintaining quality standards.

Technology as an Enabler

We leverage technology not to replace traditional methods, but to amplify them. Our digital platform connects artisans directly with global markets, something that would have been impossible just a decade ago. Through our app, customers can trace their product's journey from the artisan's workshop to their doorstep.

Measuring Impact

Success in sustainable fashion isn't just measured in sales figures. We track metrics that matter: artisan income growth, skill preservation, environmental impact reduction, and community development. Over the past year, our partner artisans have seen an average 40% increase in their income.
