The human side

Craft that
empowers
communities

Behind every product we make are the weavers, dyers, and stitchers of Multan — a city with a textile tradition that stretches back centuries. We employ local artisans, invest in their skills, and pay wages that enable families to thrive.

"Working here isn't just a job. It's a place where our craft is respected and our skills are passed on."

— Artisan, Weaving Department

In 2024, we launched a skills training programme for young weavers from underserved areas of Multan — giving them access to professional-grade equipment and a pathway to full employment.

What we weave with

Our material
composition

60% of our total fibre input comes from natural sources — cotton and linen. We are actively increasing this share year on year as we deepen supplier relationships and reduce synthetic dependence.

In practice

What we actually do

Closed-loop water recycling

Our dyeing facility uses a closed-loop water treatment system, reducing freshwater consumption by approximately 40% compared to conventional dyeing operations of the same scale.

Environmental

Azo-free dyeing

We use only OEKO-TEX approved, azo-free dyes across all our production lines — protecting workers from harmful chemical exposure and keeping products safe for end users and the environment.

Environmental · Health

Fair wage commitment

All Artisan Textiles employees earn above the regional market rate for their role. We publish our wage benchmarking annually and conduct bi-annual salary reviews for all production staff.

Social

Waste fabric repurposing

Fabric offcuts and end-of-roll waste are collected, sorted, and either donated to local community textile programmes or recycled into industrial stuffing materials — keeping waste out of landfill.
