Why Choose Karuna Dawn?

Save garments from landfill

The average person buys 60% more items of clothing every year and keeps them for about half as long as what we used to 15 years ago - generating a huge amount of waste, most of which ends up in landfill.

We partnered with a zero waste, ethical brand in India that up-cycle jeans and manufacturer's off-cuts into beautifully designed, bespoke, hand crafted bags.

Our up-cycled denim collection gives you skilled workmanship and innovative design made to last years.

Why Choose Karuna Dawn?

Stop the ruins of fast fashion

Fast fashion is the mass-production of cheap "on trend" clothing bought and cast aside in rapid succession as fashion trends change.

It has produced a race to the bottom in search for cheaper production of clothing.

We are a brand that rejects the ethos of fast fashion and honour an ethical, sustainable and conscious approach to fashion. We place purpose before profit and will not compromise on our core values of Social Impact, Animal Welfare and Environmental Footprint.
