Product Development

We have more than 40 years of experience working between India and The Netherlands and are aware of the challenges working between cultures. We understand the needs and requirements of the designers and artisans and negotiate on behalf of you taking local cultures and rhythms into consideration.

Textiel Factorij supports artists, designers, and craft communities by setting up small-scale, sustainable production lines. We mediate between fashion houses, boutiques, retailers, artists, designers and craft communities in India. We do this by first understanding your needs and requirements in a conversation.
