11.11 / eleven eleven: Popup at Nepenthes NY
Who we are
Craftsmanship lies at the heart of 11.11 / eleven eleven. For over a decade, we have been renowned for our use of indigenous cotton and 100% natural dyes, and the application of Indian heritage techniques such as hand spinning, hand loom weaving, hand painting, miniature tie-dyeing, and quilting.
Our initiative maintains its unique handmade vision by departing from mainstream manufacturing, producing zero waste, small batch, slow-made clothing in collaboration with groups of artisans located all across India.
- The collection features earth friendly - relaxed handloom silhouettes with the brand’s signature sartorial touch and a fresh nod to activewear through the lens of traditional South Asian style.
- 11.11 / eleven eleven is a brand that advocates hand made practice & culture.
- Hand woven fabric is breathable and perfect for warm weather climates
- Handmade clothing has a special aura - the pieces feel alive because they have passed through the hands of many and accumulate an energetic charge.
- Textile is a powerful way of registering memories - stories of people - and where they come from.
- Textile like wine has a terroir. It comes from the landscape, is a collaboration between nature and humans - textile is an expression of culture.
- 11.11 / eleven eleven fabric is made without electricity - entirely by hand - hand spun yarn and hand woven from natural fibers
- The natural dyes are made from edible ingredients that are indigenous to the landscape of India - like tamarind, palm sugar, pomegranate skin, indigo and myrobalan flower petals - natural dyes are safe for the skin and for the environment.
- Each piece of clothing is fully traceable from seed to stitch through it’s unique code
- 11.11 / eleven eleven approaches design through a zero waste mind set
