EKA AND
SUSTAINABILITY
Eka is made in India and draws from indigenous skills whereby natural materials are developed from India’s regional craft belts. Rina Singh launched Ekà in 2011, working primarily with textile craftspeople in rural Western and Eastern India to develop natural, sustainable fabrics in modern but enduring silhouettes.
Ten years later, Eka continues to pursue this longevity in its design philosophy.
