Together we ensure that the TIA brand is ethical and all aspects of the business is treated with respect and compassion, with a focus on our materials impact being less harmful to the environment.  At TIA, the environment and sustainability is central to everything that we do.

And with that in mind we move forward with producing simplistic, delicate yet powerful clothing for everyday wear. Inspired by our love of nature & the beauty and consciousness that India has to offer!

Transparency has always played a vital role in our growth as a company; We are constantly reflecting on ways in which we can transition and grow the sector of sustainability within our own business. For instance we are working towards curating our SS22 collection to be made with eco-responsible fibres like Lyocell & Eco-vero Viscose. 

Touring and absorbing the grounds of India highly inspired us as we searched for fibers that we believed aligned with our vision. But our journey hasn’t stopped there; we continue to study and venture new alternatives as we grow as a brand and strive to lessen our footprint! Our cottons are dyed using AZO FREE DYES therefore, are significantly less harmful. These dyes offer higher absorption rates, minimising grey water run-off during production which helps avoid pollution of natural waterways. We manufacture in small batches, only what we need, using low impact materials and have a fully transparent supply chain that we closely monitor. Our garments are designed to be worn many times, over many years. We work with a small team of artisans in India. We pay a fair wage to our team, provide excellent working conditions and help support local communities. We believe in giving back and collectively working alongside the community and culture. Our values not only express the importance of the ethical treatment of the planet but also the people within it, hence we believe it is just as important to know who made your clothes and to support your local artisans.

We have a Zero Waste policy where we try to minimise all wastage in our process. Fabric offcuts have been used to create our range of bags and are also donated to local charity. We have been working alongside Project Três; an organization which supports women through education and skill-training in India and Kenya. We have collaborated through donations and giveaways to further support and advocate their voice regarding the importance of education on fair trade and self-sustainability. Additionally we donate excess/unused  fabric to them and as a result they curate scrunchies, scarves, stuffed animals and many more items.

We moved to 100% Bio-degradable polybags in August 2018. As these bags break down naturally, they can be placed in your compost or organics waste bin. We also use NOISSUE 100% compostable postage bags which can be put in your compost to decompose naturally. Our tags are made from recycled paper and no extra packaging is used in transport except the above and the cardboard boxes which our products get exported in, which get recycled.
