Our Philosophy: Responsible Design
Lulan Artisans has sustainable business
practices in many ways: economic, cultural, environmental and social. This
philosophy is reflected in the craftsmanship, and the natural
materials and process found in our textiles.
Economic
We create sustainable livelihoods for our weavers. This impacts not
just the individual but also their families and communities.
Cultural
We implement processes and materials that are regionally available,
promote differences in cultures, preserve skills and transfer culture relevance
among a broader world view.
Environmental
Our fabrics are made with natural materials, such as silk and
organic cotton, age-old techniques and processes as well as natural or low-impact
dyes that have less impact on the environment.
Social
Weavers, spinners, dyers, finishers are paid fairly for their skill
and talent and are respected for their work. It allows people to express themselves
artistically, to grow and learn. Some additional services are provided at different
weaving centers such as day care and healthcare.
Craftsmanship
Our collections are our own exclusive designs, hand-woven by
master weavers creating high-quality artisanal fabrics. Buying these products
preserves a traditional craft with modern application.
Natural materials/process
We use materials such as silk, organic cotton and
other natural fibers, natural and/or low-impact dyes, age-old weaving techniques
and processes that have been used for centuries that create hand spun, hand
dyed, hand woven and hand-finished textiles. The use of these materials and
process ensures that our fabrics are healthier for our weavers, our customers
and our environment.
