ReshaMandi is creating an ecosystem for the natural fibre supply chain. Through digitising, it is bringing sustainable textile options for the fashion industry to the forefront.

1. ReshaMandi: The ultimate destination for
natural fibres

3. Since time immemorial, natural fibres have served man’s textile
needs. Around 8000 BC, flax that was cultivated was woven into
linen fabrics.
The processing of fibres was revolutionised with the use of
machines for spinning and weaving. Though natural fibres were in
use, the 1980s era saw synthetic fibres surpassing natural fibres in
market share.

4. While synthetic fibre’s extensive use in the textile industry propelled
fast fashion, this came with its own set of issues. Growing
environmental concerns associated with synthetic fibres have made
the use of natural fibres in the textile value chain a necessity of the
hour.
As natural fibres are sustainable materials that are biodegradable and
renewable, they are not just imperative but also a good choice to
create fabrics and textiles.

5. ReshaMandi, the name resonates with natural
fibres
The use of natural fibres to craft natural fabrics is becoming
imperative.
Techniques to optimise the production and availability of natural
fibres should be put in place so that demand and supply equitability
can be achieved.

6. ReshaMandi since its inception, has revolutionised the
Indian silk supply chain. Starting with silk, ReshaMandi has
diversified into several other natural fibres.
It has included an array of natural fibres in its profile. Here is an
overview of ReshaMandi’s natural fibre profile.

7. Silk

8. Silk is known as the queen of textiles, and there is no fabric as loved
as this exquisite fabric. Due to its lustrous and smooth texture, silk
has secured a special place in the hearts of textile connoisseurs
across the world.
ReshaMandi is working with silk farmers in India and empowering
them with smart farming techniques to increase crop yields. Its silk
fibre profile includes Mulberry silk, Eri silk, Muga silk, and Tussar
silk.

9. Cotton

10. Cotton is used to create every type of clothing for day-to-day use.
ReshaMandi has associations with farmers across the cotton belt of
India. It is establishing a value-added supply chain that will benefit
every stakeholder in the cotton textile supply chain.
After diversifying into cotton, ReshaMandi is making cotton
fabrics and several blends of cotton easily accessible to the common
man.

12. Bamboo
Bamboo fabrics drape and hang well. With the rising popularity of
bamboo, fashion brands and clothing designers use it extensively to
meet consumers’ demands for stylish, affordable, and sustainable
clothing.
With bamboo in its fabric profile, ReshaMandi helps in sourcing the
best-quality bamboo and viscose fabrics.

13. Hemp

14. Hemp is one of the strongest and most durable organic fibres
available in the textile industry. Due to its tensile strength and other
advantages, several fabric and apparel manufacturers are keen to
explore hemp as a choice of fabric.
By including hemp in its fabric profile, ReshaMandi provides a
greater reach for this fabric and helps the common man make
conscious fashion choices.

15. ReshaMandi and fabrics from natural bio-
materials
With the resurgence of interest in the use of natural biomaterials,
ReshaMandi has included several such natural biomaterials in its
fibre and fabric profiles.
Lotus fabric
The fabric created from the fibres of the celestial flower, Lotus,
looks like a blend of linen and silk. Also, the molecular makeup of
the lotus plant bestows it with wrinkle-resistant and breathable
qualities.

16. Rose fabric
Rose fibres are derived from rose petals. They have been
manufactured from naturally occurring waste products like rose
petals and rose bushes.
It is a mixture of cellulose and rice protein. The fabric crafted from
rose fibres is as smooth as natural silk.

17. Aloe Vera fabric
Completely biodegradable and recyclable, Aloe fibre shares many of
the same physical and chemical characteristics as cotton. The fabric
enriched with the goodness of aloe fibre is particularly beneficial for
the body.
Aloe fabric deflects moisture and cold from the outside, and its
many pores make it simple for perspiration to evaporate.

18. Matka and Ghicha fabric
Powered by a circular economy and committed towards zero waste
management, ReshaMandi has added Matka and Ghicha fabric to its
textile bank. Matka Silk is a rough handloom silk fabric made from
Mulberry silk waste that hasn’t been stripped of its sericin (silk
gum).
Gicha is a special silk yarn made from cocoons that don’t get included
in the regular process of reeling Tussar silk.

19. In addition to the above-mentioned fibres and fabrics, ReshaMandi
also has Khadi, Tencel and other fabrics in its fabric profile. By
encouraging natural fibre farming, the production of natural fibre
yarns and natural fabrics in India, ReshaMandi is creating an
ecosystem for the natural fibre supply chain.
Through digitising the natural fibre supply chain, it is bringing
sustainable textile options for the fashion industry to the forefront.
