swahlee

This is the standard we hold ourselves to - not a garment for a season, but a beloved piece that earns its place in a wardrobe for years.

Behind the seam:

Most clothing is made to be replaced.

Ours is made to be kept.

Small batch. Natural fabrics.

Our workshop in Assam where every seam is sewn by someone who was trained to do it well.

This is what the opposite of fast fashion looks like from the inside.

The cost per wear on a piece you reach for every summer, for five summers, is almost nothing. That's the math we believe in.

Every piece we make begins and ends with the young women in our workshop in Assam, India - their training, their work, their futures.

We started with a question: what if a job could be the most powerful form of care? Eight years in, we still believe it.

Just linen, and summer, and the kind of morning where getting dressed is the easiest part.

This cotton fabric started on a handloom in India. Here is where it ended up.

The name Swahlee comes from the Assamese word for girl. That is not an accident. It is the whole point.

In our workshop, nothing that can be used is thrown away. What's left after cutting becomes something new. This is the Remnants Collection. Beauty from pieces.

If you’re in the Fort Worth area this weekend — come find us.

We’re popping up at The Worthy Co. at The Shops at Clearfork, Friday and Saturday. Try on easy linen and handloom pieces made by women in Assam, India. Pick up a candle or a gift made by women right here in Fort Worth.

Two small businesses. One belief: that the work we do — and the things we make — should leave people better than we found them.

Details in the graphic. We’d love to meet you.
