Variously, founded by Anjali Purohit, is a sustainable brand and design studio committed to putting the hand workers' economy at its forefront by choosing to exclusively only work with genuine handcrafted techniques. They are proud to support the Sustainable Design Goals set by the United Nations and apply them in their design and manufacturing processes. Variously chooses to explore minimal design elements rooted in heritage values. They explore ancient printing and weaving techniques, directly supporting artisans to restore and revive them economically. They consciously stay away from short trend-based collections and choose to explore concepts that explore high design which is collaborative in nature. The brand seeks beauty in slow-made textiles that bring people and their roots together. Based out of the Greater Detroit area in Michigan, Variously exclusively works with master artisans and supports ethical production practices. Since their inception in 2016, Variously has collaborated with 12-15 artisan families who are 3rd / 4th generation heritage weavers, specialty dyers, and heritage printers. 80% of their workforce with whom they collaborate are women. To ensure higher biodegradable content in their textiles, Variously uses only the finest quality of certified natural yarns responsibly sourced from different parts of the world like India, Australia, and Belgium. They use certified earth-friendly dyes that conserve water resources and are free of toxic chemicals.
