Our Story
From waste to wonder, from challenge to opportunity - this is how reknit transforms lives and the environment.
It Started with Waste
Walking through a textile factory, we witnessed mountains of 'waste' - beautiful fabrics discarded simply because they didn't meet exact specifications. These materials, perfectly functional and vibrant, were destined for landfills.
But we saw something different. Where others saw waste, we saw opportunity. Where others saw the end, we saw a new beginning. That moment sparked the birth of reknit - a vision to transform discarded textiles into beautiful, functional products.
Yet our mission extends far beyond environmental impact. We recognized that true sustainability must include social sustainability - empowering communities and creating meaningful livelihoods.
Empowerment Through Partnership
We don't just create products - we create opportunities. Our model ensures that every woman artisan is a true partner in our success.
Our Two-Part Compensation Model
Stable Hourly Income
Every artisan receives a guaranteed fair wage for their skilled work, providing financial security and recognizing the value of their craftsmanship.
Shared Success
Each artisan receives a percentage of the earnings from e-commerce sales, directly linking our website's success to their prosperity. When reknit grows, our artisans grow with us.
Equipment & Training
We provide high-quality sewing machines and comprehensive training, ensuring our artisans have the tools and skills needed for success.
Our Mission
To reknit the fabric of sustainability by transforming textile waste into beautiful products while empowering women artisans with fair compensation and shared prosperity.
Our Vision
A world where waste becomes opportunity, where every purchase creates positive impact, and where sustainable practices empower communities to thrive together.
Founder's Story
The vision behind reknit comes from a young mind passionate about creating positive change
A Student's Vision for Change
I am a 12th-grade student at The Doon School, Dehradun. I am currently pursuing the IBDP curriculum majoring in Business, Economics and Mathematics.
I enjoy playing football and am frequently seen on the field participating in various sports. I love listening to music in my spare time. I also enjoy experimenting with electronics, cables, and motors, as well as building things out of scrap items and at the school's robotics lab.
My strong subjects include English, Economics, and Business - skills that have been instrumental in developing the reknit concept and business model.
Passion for Community Service
I am passionate about community service ever since I was in the ninth grade. Currently I am working towards the upliftment of society through imparting education, sharing knowledge and empowering the underprivileged in need. I am able to do this through my various ongoing social services at the moment.
This passion for social impact, combined with my interest in building things from scrap materials, naturally led to the creation of reknit - where we transform textile waste into opportunity while empowering women artisans in our community.
