For the past 15 years, Vriksh Designs has been at the forefront of preserving and innovating India's rich handwoven textile heritage. Founded in 2008 by Gunjan Jain, Vriksh has redefined Odisha’s traditional Ikat and extra weft techniques, blending them with contemporary aesthetics to create textiles that not only resonate with cultural significance but also embrace modern sophistication. As they mark this important milestone, Vriksh is taking a bold step forward by expanding beyond sarees into a new world of sustainable apparel with their debut collection, "Kalaa." Showcased at the International Folk Art Market (IFAM) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this collection is inspired by 15th-century poet Kabir Das and speaks to themes of unity, peace and inclusivity—values that are crucial in today’s world. Through sustainable practices and a close relationship with artisans, Vriksh continues to innovate while honouring the craftsmanship that forms the backbone of India's textile industry. From handwoven Tussar silk to zero-waste production methods, Vriksh is proof that tradition and innovation can beautifully coexist. 📝 Read more about Vriksh’s remarkable journey and their latest apparel collection in our latest Anniversary Edition of Sustain-A-Verse Magazine.

What’s behind the "Buy Now" button? Netflix's compelling documentary 'Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy' reveals how corporations manipulate consumer behavior, driving overconsumption while ignoring the devastating environmental and social consequences. Here are some powerful lessons from the film: 🔸 Psychological Tactics: From data-driven ads to planned obsolescence, brands design products and experiences to keep us buying more, without considering waste or sustainability. 🔸 Environmental Costs: Fast fashion alone generates 92 million tons of waste annually. The film’s haunting image of a beach in Ghana, buried under discarded clothing, shows just how dire the crisis is. 🔸 Social Inequities: Overconsumption fuels exploitative labor practices in the Global South, perpetuating cycles of poverty and environmental harm. But it’s not all doom and gloom—there’s hope! The film inspires us to take action: ✅ Buy less and choose quality. ✅ Repair, recycle and embrace secondhand shopping. ✅ Hold companies accountable for their environmental and ethical practices. ✅ Recognize marketing manipulation and make mindful choices. At Sustain-A-Verse, we explore these themes and more in our November Edition, featuring: 📝 10 exclusive articles, including: Approaching the Holiday Season Sustainably Why We Should Care About Landfills Black Friday and the Cost of Overconsumption AI in Fashion: Transforming Creativity, Sustainability, and Retail This issue is your guide to becoming a conscious consumer and breaking free from the chains of overconsumption.
