For me, sustainability begins with making less, making carefully, and understanding the value of what I use.

I work with natural fibres such as wool, alpaca, silk, mohair and linen, choosing materials for their quality, longevity and the way they feel and behave. I work in small quantities, limited by what my hands can realistically make. I also keep my waste to a minimum. Natural fibres are valuable to me, so I keep even the smallest leftover pieces and use them in embroidery, details, buttons and finishing wherever possible.

I believe sustainability is not only about choosing a particular fibre. It is also about respecting the material, the time involved in making something, and the person who makes it. Each Nandi piece is made slowly, in limited quantities, with the intention that it is kept, worn, used and valued for a long time.
