DESCRIPTION :

These fabrics were printed using a traditional hand-block printing technique. Wooden blocks are hand-carved to form the design, then hand-stamped onto the fabric with dye. A design is often the result of layers of different blocks, requiring time, skill, and extreme precision. They work with the best block printers in Rajasthan, such as Anokhi, emphasizing the exclusive use of natural dyes.

THE BRAND :

CONTEMPORARY HANDMADE MEN'S CLOTHING
The antithesis of mass-produced fast fashion, KARDO launched in 2013 with a desire to slow things down and pay attention to the small details of menswear. Inspired by traditional workwear and tailoring, KARDO dresses the modern man with subtle twists on classic silhouettes.

HANDCRAFTED WITH MINUTES OF DETAIL
KARDO honors traditional Indian weaving, dyeing, and printing techniques for its collections, using fabrics such as natural dyed loom, block printing, IKAT, natural indigo denim, shibori embroidery, and chikankari. We actively support and collaborate with handloom weaving communities across India in the hope that these traditional techniques do not disappear and that our impact on the environment is as low as possible.

We go even further with our specialized “ONExONE” production of our garments where each item is hand-cut, sewn by a single tailor from start to finish and carefully finished by hand.

IT'S NOT WHERE IT'S MADE THAT MATTERS, BUT WHO MADE IT AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS
Designed and manufactured in our own workshop in New Delhi, India, we celebrate our workers by paying fair wages for their craftsmanship and providing a safe and healthy work environment. The provenance of our garments is acknowledged by affixing a label on each garment, highlighting the hands involved in making each piece.

CAREFULLY CRAFTED. BEAUTIFULLY AND RESPONSIBLY DESIGNED.
