SukkhaCitta Sustainability Actions

Farm-to-closet production

SukkhaCitta partners with Indonesian farmers and artisans on Java, Bali, Flores, and West Timor. Every piece of fabric in the brand’s farm-to-closet collection is crafted out of 100 percent plant-based materials.

Uses organic cotton and dyes

SukkhaCitta partners with artisans and farmers to create clothing stitched from organic cotton, dyed with local fruits and woods, and embellished with hand-drawn batik.

Supports women in villages

Sixty percent of the clothing made in Indonesia is actually outsourced to women in villages as piece work, and only about 2 percent earn a living wage. Riadini-Flesch set out to change that with SukkhaCitta. The garments are produced using artisanal techniques, traditional growing practices such as regenerative cotton and plant-based natural dyes. Profits from the line fund the school, which teaches women not only craft but business skills and financial literacy so that they can accurately calculate their earnings.
