Materials
What we’re made of
At The Open Form, sustainable fabric is where everything begins.
It’s not just the first step, it’s the soul of what we do.
Every material we choose is rooted in care. Care for how it feels on your skin, how it's made, and the people who bring it to life. We work with handwoven, natural, and certified textiles that are kind to the earth and crafted with generations of knowledge. From the threads spun by local weavers to the gentle fabrics stitched in our in-house studio, every piece holds a story of skill, slowness, and thoughtful choices.
Our design philosophy is simple: create timeless clothing that feels easy, comforting, and unrestricted. Shapes that suit you at every stage. Textures that feel lived in. Pieces that last, not just in quality but in how they make you feel.
We believe the way forward is through small, conscious steps, buying less but better, mending when we can, and choosing pieces that we’ll return to again and again.
Because keeping the earth healthy starts with how we make things, and how we wear them too.
100% Khadi Cotton
Woven by hand, held by history.
Our journey with Khadi is a quiet one—slow, thoughtful, and rooted in care. Spun and woven by hand, without the use of electricity, this fabric holds the rhythm of the maker’s hands. It’s soft, breathable, and kind to your skin—something you can wear all day, all year.
We love Khadi not just for how it feels, but for what it means. A fabric that speaks of resilience, of community, and of choosing slower, better ways of making.
Handwoven Chanderi Silk
Light as air, crafted with soul.
Woven by skilled artisans in India, our Chanderi Silk carries generations of tradition in every thread. It’s known for its sheer texture and soft shimmer, delicate yet enduring.
We choose handwoven over machine-made, not just for its beauty, but for the people behind it. Each piece honours time, patience, and craftsmanship. Clothing that celebrates the old ways, in new forms.
GOTS Certified Organic Cotton
Soft on your skin, softer on the planet.
Our organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals and made in certified units that honour both people and the planet. It’s breathable, gentle, and made to last, ideal for clothes that move with you.
We choose GOTS-certified cotton because we care about what touches your skin, and the hands that made it. It’s our way of choosing less harm, more honesty, and clothing that feels as good as it looks.
100% Flax Linen
Woven with intention, made to breathe.
Our flax linen begins its journey in a quiet village in Madhya Pradesh, where skilled hands turn natural fibres into fabric, without machines, without haste. It’s light, airy, and easy on your skin, just like your favourite kind of day.
It ages beautifully with every wear, becoming more you over time, lasting through seasons, moods, and memories.
Handwoven Mulberry Silk
A legacy of refinement, woven by hand.
Our Mulberry Silk is sourced from the finest natural fibres and handwoven by master artisans, creating a fabric that feels as exquisite as it looks. Known for its unmatched softness and natural sheen, it drapes like a whisper ,elegant, fluid, and timeless.
We choose handwoven over machine-made because it honours the pace of craftsmanship. Every thread speaks of care, every piece a quiet celebration of heritage. This is silk the way it was meant to be ,pure, conscious, and deeply personal.
Recycled Cotton
Timeworn fibres, quietly renewed.
There is a certain poetry in revival ,fragments once cast aside, now re-spun with intention. Our recycled cotton is composed of both pre- and post-consumer remnants, diverted from waste streams and returned to form through thoughtful, low-impact processes.
Its hand is unexpectedly soft, its texture gently irregular ,a reminder of its many past lives. But beyond its surface lies its quiet integrity: a fabric that honours the finite, that resists excess, that completes a circle rather than beginning anew.
We work with recycled cotton not as a compromise, but as a conviction ,that beauty can emerge from what already is, and that the future of clothing lies not in invention, but in return.
