Our Cotton
From the Fairtrade cotton fields of West Africa our premium count of cotton is the raw ingredient that forms the basis for the luxury softness of our denim.
Hand Picked Organic Cotton:
Our hand picked Organic cotton is grown without any chemicals and so is completely natural. This is good for our land, good for the farmers and good for our skin.
Pure Natural Indigo
Our denim is made from pure natural ingredients. Unlike 99% of denim which use synthetic indigo Sharkah Chakra use only pure natural indigo which comes straight from the indigo plant you see in this picture.
Denim Makers
Over one month our denim makers dip and sundry each hanks of white cotton up to 30 times into the natural indigo pots. This was how all fabric used to be dyed thousands of years ago. Reinvented for today this is what gives Sharkah Chakra denim its deep authentic blue tones...
Environmentally Friendly
Our natural indigo dyeing is environmentally friendly and caring to the land.
