Surya is a slow fashion brand that emphasizes sustainability and quality in every aspect of its clothing production. Their pieces are crafted from natural fibers, primarily using cotton woven in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. This fabric is not only durable and breathable but also carries a unique textured finish, a hallmark of natural fibers. Surya’s commitment to reducing environmental impact extends to their use of low-impact and natural dyes, which are far less harmful to both the planet and wearers compared to conventional dyes.
Surya’s design philosophy centers on timeless styles that endure, both in quality and fashion relevance. Instead of releasing seasonal collections, they introduce new pieces gradually, ensuring that each item is designed and produced with care and longevity in mind.
The brand also takes pride in its partnerships with skilled local artisans in Nepal, who play a crucial role in creating these high-quality garments. Surya’s dedication to sustainability is further reflected in their packaging choices—using compostable satchels that can be returned to the earth, reducing plastic waste.
Their products include thoughtfully crafted clothing items like overalls, wrap skirts, and cowl neck tops, designed to be part of a versatile, sustainable wardrobe.
