They are actively working to connect farmers with equitable markets, enabling them to earn a premium for their produce and fostering prosperity and sustainability within their communities.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything they do, seamlessly merging traditional farming with cutting-edge techniques. Their commitment extends to cultivating organic cotton, where each fiber is produced with utmost care and responsibility.

artisan:re specialises in all things cotton. They connect their 1,000 farmers to markets for both unprocessed and processed products, including seed cotton, cotton lint, and yarn. Currently, they grow NPOP certified organic cotton using regenerative practices with an average staple length 29 to 31mm and mic of 3.9 to 4.3 which is ideal for spinning into yarns and counts up to Ne 40s. They also offer NPOP certified naturally coloured cotton with average staple length of 23.7 mm to 26.5 mm and mic of 4.1.
“Their commitment extends to cultivating organic cotton, where each fiber is produced with utmost care and responsibility. Their yarns and fabric showcase this dedication, combining intricate textures with eco-conscious practices to create pieces of responsible luxury.”
As they spread to new regions and transition more farmers into growing organic cotton, they look to include rain-fed extra-long staple length cotton in their portfolio thereby decreasing dependency on ground water and be more sustainable.
Each strand of their yarn tells a story of artisanal craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Join them in embracing a future where every creation reflects a commitment to comfort, elegance, and sustainability.
