Lafaani is committed to slow, circular fashion that honors India’s textile heritage and supports regenerative practices. The brand works primarily with Kala Cotton and Brown Cotton—indigenous, rain-fed varieties grown without pesticides in Gujarat. These fibers are hand-spun using Ambar Charkhas and handwoven by artisan clusters.

Natural dyes like indigo, madder, turmeric, and pomegranate rind are used to color each piece, resulting in rich tones without toxic chemicals. Lafaani also incorporates recycled cotton threads and upcycled off-cuts, embracing zero-waste design and multifunctional silhouettes. Every garment reflects the brand’s deep connection to land, craft, and community—crafted to last and tell stories of both maker and material.
