Partner Organization: Khadi Oaxaca
Khadi Oaxaca is a non-profit, sustainable textile company based in the mountain village of San Sebastian Rio Hondo, Oaxaca, Mexico. We are dedicated to spinning, natural dyeing, weaving, sewing and embroidering heirloom cotton and locally produced wool textiles by hand. Our work is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Khadi movement in India, which we have melded with local Zapotec traditions, ancient and classic production techniques and innovative designs.
