If you believe in a zero-waste philosophy, have an appreciation for handmade, and wouldn’t mind wearing pieces that are a bit flawed (because aren’t we all?), our IMPERFECTS are for you.

A running thread, a stripe that overlaps another, a stain, a stitch less — to celebrate the uniqueness of these pieces and the people who handcraft them with passion, we are offering these handmade imperfects at markdown prices.

Our Imperfects are still the same in quality as our regular priced Kimono and won’t wear out sooner. However, what makes these pieces different is that they have highly noticeable irregularities, such as patches with an incorrect weave or a colour difference when compared to the original design.

For one purchase you make, we plant one tree in your name. We send you an e-Tree Certificate with a code which links to a location marker showing where the tree was planted, so that you can track and trace your tree! 

With our 1=1 model, in partnership with social enterprise Grow-Trees, we address community, women and nature. Tree planting generates employment for women in the village, regulates the climate while improving the soil quality, which benefits farming communities.  

Do more with less: The JIVA Kimono is handy to wear all through the year. The handy pockets are an added plus! 

Design x Craft: Modern European design blends beautifully with centuries old handcrafting tradition, making your Kimono a piece to treasure. 

Small Batch Production: Individually handmade by the artisans at Dev Bhumi, produced in small batches ensuring every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. The JIVA Kimono is guaranteed to be your wardrobe essential for years to come.

Air, Sky, Earth, Water and Fire -- ancient Indian philosophy suggests that all of creation is made up of these five essential elements. Just as many ancient cultures integrate these elements into their daily rituals, we've named our JIVA (meaning Life) Kimonos after the core elements of nature, which co-exist in harmony. 

We believe in the power of a business to do good. Through our collections, which are guided by fair-trade principles, we aim to actively improve the lives of local communities, offering skills and support to drive sustainable development and women’s empowerment.

Our Commitment: We want to empower our artisan partners and be transparent with you, while offering you a versatile garment that is also handmade with respect. Your Kimono was made by skilled artisans of Dev Bhumi in the Himalayas. 

By ensuring these artisans a steady income, fair trade and job satisfaction not far from home, you are ensuring that they stay close to their communities and their craft to offer you a product made out of love, dignity and gratitude. 

Thank you for being a part of our journey in responsible fashion.
