SUSTAINABILITY
At Untapped, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in creating beautiful, high-quality products that not only celebrate traditional craftsmanship but also contribute positively to the environment and the communities we work with.
Ethical Sourcing from the Oraon Tribe
Our fabrics are sourced directly from the Oraon tribe in Jharkhand, India, through Jharcraft, a government initiative dedicated to promoting traditional handloom and handicrafts. The Oraon tribe, with its rich cultural heritage, has been weaving exquisite handloom fabrics for generations. By partnering with Jharcraft, we ensure that the fabrics we use are ethically sourced and that the artisans are fairly compensated for their exceptional work.
Handloom Fabrics: A Sustainable Choice
All the fabrics we use at Untapped are handloomed and certified by ONE CERT. Handloom fabric production is inherently sustainable, as it requires minimal energy consumption and uses natural fibers. The slow, deliberate process of hand weaving results in textiles that are not only unique but also environmentally friendly, reducing the carbon footprint associated with mass-produced fabrics.

Our Commitment to Ethical Production
Every piece in our collection is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans we collaborate with. By choosing handloom fabrics, we support the continuation of traditional weaving techniques and provide a stable source of income for the Oraon community. This commitment extends beyond just our materials; it’s reflected in every step of our production process, from design to delivery.
Environmental Impact
Handloom fabrics are a cornerstone of sustainable fashion. The production process involves fewer chemicals, less water, and less energy compared to industrial fabric manufacturing. This not only preserves the environment but also ensures that our products are safe and non-toxic for you to wear.
Supporting Indigenous Communities
By sourcing our fabrics from Jharcraft, we are actively supporting the indigenous Oraon tribe, helping to sustain their traditional livelihoods and preserve their cultural heritage. We believe in giving back to the communities that make our work possible, and we are proud to contribute to the social and economic development of these artisans.
Why Choose Handloom?
When you purchase from Untapped Shop, you are not just buying a product; you are investing in a sustainable future. Each piece of handloom fabric is a labor of love, created with care and respect for the environment. By choosing handloom, you are supporting eco-friendly fashion and helping to reduce the impact of fast fashion on our planet.
