We work with independent tailors and fabric traders in Rajasthan, India. We believe in transparency in production and have personal relationships with everyone in the production of Genki clothing. From the artisan blockprint makers who create the patterns to the independent tailors who craft the clothes. Our supply line is simple, personal and transparent.

We ensure every step of GENKI is kind to our planet. Not only are we an environmentally conscious brand, but socially conscious too. We work with small, family-run businesses in India, supporting local production that benefits its communities.
