Commitment to Sustainability & Social Responsibility

Company Code Of Conduct

  • Studio Variously does not support any form of child labor and discrimination. 
  • Being mutually respectful, timely and transparent in every single communication is integral to the core framework of Studio Variously.
  • Support healthy and safe working conditions, opportunities for training and development for all artisans partners involved.
  • Keeping our artisanal technique genuinely rooted in heritage traditions through small batch production is very important when prioritizing sustainability and quality craftsmanship.

Good things take time, and we do not support any shortcuts in our manufacturing process.

  • Our artisan partners are located in diverse geographical regions—speaking different languages and hailing from different cultural backgrounds—are all part of our extended creative team, not just vendors.
  • Studio Variously pursues small batch, high quality production by developing classic, timeless designs rather than chasing short-term trends resulting in over stock / dead stock. 
  • Each artisan partnership is directly vetted and backed with investment of considerable time and resources.

We are in this process together to retain, revive, and renew hand workers economy rooted in heritage techniques.

  • We deeply value their expertise across a range of techniques including weaving, dyeing, printing, knitting, embroidery and more.
  • Innovating heritage techniques is core to our design process rather than just replicating them as this will promote longevity and sustainability in the crafts-based techniques.
  • The well-being of artisans is frequently checked up through daily communication with onsite supervisors involved in each community to ensure that they maintain a healthy work-life .

Environmental, Social, Governance Performance: Sustainability Goals

Collaborative, Vetted & Ethical Supply Chain

Backed with years of research, on site visits, daily correspondence, Variously chooses to only work with vetted artisan partners currently based in India, Nepal and Peru. We began with just 6 artisans, but over time, our fair trade partnerships have grown to include over 40 skilled handloom weavers, hand dyeing experts, and hand embroiderers.

> Commitment to Timelessness Over Short-Lived Trends 

In line with our sustainability commitment, our designs are crafted through high-quality, small-batch production, promoting responsible and sustainable development using heritage techniques. As a result of this initiative, we encourage pre-orders to ensure timeless quality over short-lived trends. Through this practice, we strive to ensure the impact of our business is a positive one on both society and the environment.

> Sustainable Practices & Materials

Studio Variously is committed to sustainable practices that are mindful of the positive impacts on the environment and contribute to long-term, sustainable development. Our suppliers ensure that all materials & processes are tracked to its source. During the manufacturing process, we explore environmentally conscious techniques, such as natural dyeing methods, and only use breathable materials instead of harmful, petro-chemical based materials like polyester and acrylic. We have a social responsibility to enforce the obtaining of certifications.

> Hand Workers Economy Rooted in Heritage

Variously values ancient cultural stories that reflect in our textiles. Each piece is connected to the roots of the artisan community it originates from. We retain the use of heritage tools and processes, honoring time-tested methods that value artisans' traditional approaches in creation, omitting any shortcuts possible.

If it's here, it has gone through its cycle of creation through the wisdom of artisan communities who are involved in ensuring the quality of each piece that is finished and checked thoroughly. 

> Quality Over Quantity

We are not striving for cookie cutter design or production values. But rather ensure each batch has gone through rigorous quality check. Our techniques are rooted in heritage but relevant to current industry requirements & strict compliance , with connection to craft, care and artisanal excellence.
