• The fabrics used for Indilisi are all GOTS certified organic cotton. See link to the
  certification below.
  
• The yarn dyeing is also GOTS certified. The yarn is then spun and handwoven at the
  
• Dev Tech Weaving unit in Narsingdi, two hours from Dhaka, the capital.

All hand embroidery is produced by women artisans on-site at Dev Tech Associates’
production centre and office in Dhaka, where the final garment is tailored, finished,
packaged in paper bags, and dispatched by air freight. The ordered quantities are
too small to send by sea freight.
