In this section you can read more about our current social practices, that we are constantly striving to evolve and improve.
Fairpay
There are no middlepeople at Dilli Grey.
The in-house Dilli Grey team are directly in contact with all the suppliers in India who bring our designs to life, on a weekly basis and have built deep relationships over years of collaboration.
​
The relationships are built on kind, honest and fair communication. These values are also portrayed in the pay offered for the products provided. The suppliers are paid fairly and they pay their employees in the same manner. All our artisans skills are nurtured to allow them to grow as craftsmen and women in their own right, learning a tangible and valuable skill that they will have for life.
Community Engagement
We visit our suppliers factories in India seasonally, as well as the women-led co-operatives whose skills embellish many of our hand-embroidered and hand-quilted designs. Listening to these women's stories and learning how best we can support them and their families allows our work with them to feel more collaborative and authentic.
​
Working flexibly from home brings them the satisfaction of financial independence, but crucially allows them to stay in their villages and with their children, rather than having to travelling into the major cities in search of work.
