I spent Saturday learning more about the world of natural dyes alongside the talented @naomi.creative.roots. Gaining more of an insight into this beautiful process and appreciating the abundance of dyes that surround us all was so fulfilling. It was a really lovely day spent chatting and creating with likeminded ladies at the @potager_garden. This slow and mindful process left me feeling excited and curious. I can’t wait to continue my creative journey with natural dyes and seeing how we can continue to apply them to our clothes in new and innovative ways. For anyone looking to learn something new in the South West, Naomi runs a number of brilliant natural dye courses throughout the year. Thank you for sharing these ancient techniques ✨🌱

Introducing The Potager’s Vest ✨ We’ve worked hard to put together our latest collection and I am beyond excited to share with you one of our favourites. Our Potager’s Vest is hand knitted using the softest wool by craftswomen from a Fair Trade women’s cooperative, known as the ‘Hill Women’. Super soft. V-neck. Pine green and light pink crochet. Shaped to an upper-hip silhouette for a boxy, feminine look. Our Potager’s Vest offers warmth as an additional layer throughout all seasons. The shape and style have been perfectly crafted to complement a range of BANJAARA garments. Model is 5’8 tall, size UK 10, US 6, and is wearing the medium. Available mid October ✨
✨ EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ✨ BANJAARA has partnered with a Fair Trade women’s cooperative that specialise in hand-knitting as way of generating sustainable livelihoods. Known as the ‘Hill Women’, they are based in the Himalayan region of Northern India. The craftswomen are shareholders in the company, owning 100% of their business. The money BANJAARA pays for our beautiful knits goes directly to them, without any middlemen taking a cut. The Hill Women’s cooperative is organised into 50 self-help groups and provides sustainable livelihoods for 700 women. This enterprise enables them to work out of their homes producing quality hand-knitted items with the flexibility they require to manage their family life. One of the major challenges the Hill Women face is selling their craft at a larger scale to international markets. BANJAARA can provide this bridge, enabling these marginalised women to participate in the global economy. The wages provided from our partnership not only empower each of the craftswomen personally but as mothers too by creating opportunities to invest in their children’s education, health, and well-being. Women hold up half the sky. As a female business owner I am determined to invest time and resources into nurturing these relationships so that we can remain as socially impactful as possible. We love telling stories and will endeavour to strengthen the connections between our wonderful customers and craftswomen as much as possible. Check out our Fair Trade Knitwear page on our website for more information. 🤍 ✨Our small batch collection is finally live.

Farewell to another glorious summer in Cornwall. Big thank you to everyone who bought from BANJAARA this sunny (ish) season.

More to come on this very soon. With love Ruby

A few weeks ago BANJAARA set off on a Cornish Shrimper to shoot our latest collection. It was a dream shoot. Seeing my lovely models in clothes I’ve designed is always so creatively fulfilling. I feel so grateful seeing BANJAARA go from strength to strength. That’s all thanks to your ongoing support and love - Thank you. My incredibly hard-working and creative family, Charlie & Aaron who have joined the brand - Thank you. My beautiful Models and wonderfully talented photographer - Thank you. My team in India making all my crazy ideas a reality - Thank you. We are constantly planning and designing and have so many exciting lines and projects on the horizon. I look forward to sharing with you all again and again. Ruby x
Block printing is a true reflection of what Mother Nature was doing the day it was printed. On a perfectly sunny day the colours will be bright, even clouds passing over the sun will make the colours slightly duller, and small dots could be desert sand being blown over the drying fields. It’s currently monsoon season in Jaipur. Rajasthan has seen an increase in rainfall this year as to previous years. Printers will have to wait to start printing again, putting the production on hold. We are reminded of the importance of the seasons with our work, and how we work with nature’s cycles and not against them. Nothing is rushed and all is worth the wait. 🤍🙏
The Sunflower Dabu Trousers 🧡 Offering a relaxed look, our trousers are cut with a balloon tapered fit. Side pockets for essentials. Elasticated waist for added comfort and flexibility. Smooth and soft linen fabric that is cool and naturally breathable. 🤍
Knitwear season is on the horizon and so is our new knit collection. We’ve teamed up with an incredible organisation to bring you the most characterful hand knits. We can’t wait to tell you more about these amazing women. Are you signed up to our newsletter? You don’t want to miss this drop! 🧶🤍
We’re down to our last Campanula Blue Wrap Skirts. Expect a re-stock of these in late September / early October. It’s monsoon season in Jaipur so the drying fields are at a halt. Nothing is rushed and all is worth the wait 🤍
