From St Xavier places a strong focus on investing in communities with diverse artisanal skill sets in North India. We believe in the importance of heritage, and work closely with artists who flourish in traditional production methods that are rapidly being lost in our increasingly automated world.
Partnering only with SEDEX certified producers, we are dedicated to building ethical working conditions in global supply chains. We are proud to uphold these values, and consider them integral to the From St Xavier brand foundation, allowing for deeper and more meaningful collaboration with our makers.
All fibers used in the linings of our bags are recycled as means of reducing the problem of textile wastage within the fashion accessory and apparel industries. We formulate our designs around what raw materials are already available or remain from previous collections in order to mitigate any excess and wastage.
