A thoughtful sourcing process

From Indian makers to your market

The Flora Co. works with artisans, producers, manufacturers and sourcing partners to help business buyers explore products from India. We aim to make each enquiry clearer by discussing product requirements, available options and practical details before moving forward.

01

Share your brief

Tell us the product type, target market, intended quantity, price range and any material or design requirements.

02

Explore suitable options

We review the requirement with relevant sourcing partners and share options where availability and fit can be established.

03

Confirm the details

Discuss specifications, samples, customisation, minimum order quantities, lead times and pricing before committing.

04

Plan the order

Once details are agreed, we coordinate next steps with the relevant supplier or production partner.

Craft, materials & making

Know what goes into a product

Materials and production methods matter, but the details vary by supplier and product. We encourage buyers to ask questions, review available specifications and assess each item on its own merits rather than relying on broad sustainability labels alone.

Hand-Block Printing

A traditional textile-printing technique shaped by carved blocks, careful placement and skilled hands. The Flora Co. helps business buyers explore hand-block-printed products from Indian makers for collections tailored to their market.

01 · The process

How hand-block printing works

Designs are carved into printing blocks, which are then used to transfer a pattern onto fabric. Artisans position and press the blocks repeatedly to build a design across the textile. Depending on the technique and design, the process may involve several blocks or colours, with alignment and consistency requiring care and experience.

02 · What can be sourced

From fabric to finished products

01

Apparel and accessories

Explore shirts, dresses, relaxed trousers, scarves and other textile accessories for distinctive everyday and seasonal collections.

02

Home textiles

Explore bedsheets, cushion covers, curtains, table linen, quilts and throws, with sizes and specifications confirmed per product.

03

Custom collections

Develop a collection around your preferred print direction, colour palette, fabric, product style, branded labels and packaging.

03 · Designed around your brand

Private label, white label and custom collections

Hand-block-printed products can be developed for businesses looking to build a collection under their own brand. Depending on the product and order brief, options may include selecting prints and colour palettes, choosing fabrics and product styles, and discussing branded labels, tags and packaging.

Private labeling supports a collection developed for your brand, while white labeling can offer a route to brand-ready products using an existing design. The scope is agreed for each project, including specifications, branding, quantities and timelines.

04 · Corporate gifting

Distinctive gifts with an Indian craft story

Hand-block-printed textiles can bring colour and craftsmanship to corporate gifting programmes. Consider coordinated pouches, fabric accessories, table linen and textile gift sets for employee welcome kits, client gifts, conferences, celebrations and brand events.

Print direction, colour palettes, branding and gift presentation can be discussed around your occasion, audience and budget.

The appeal of hand-block printing

The carved-block process, considered patterns and artisan skill give hand-block-printed textiles their distinctive character. The technique brings together traditional knowledge, design and hands-on craftsmanship, creating textiles with a strong sense of pattern and individuality. Depending on the collection, fabric and printing process, different colour approaches—including natural dyes—may be explored.

About Me

Hi, I’m Swati Manohar, founder of The Flora Co.

The Flora Co. was created with a simple idea — to help buyers discover thoughtfully selected products from India while building meaningful connections with the artisans, makers, manufacturers and sourcing partners behind them.

My focus is on bringing together Indian craftsmanship, quality, design and more conscious material choices across products for the global market. From handcrafted textiles and home décor to upcycled products and other distinctive Indian crafts, I work with sourcing partners to identify products that have a story, a purpose and the potential to meet the requirements of international buyers.

I believe that good sourcing is not simply about finding a product. It is about understanding how it is made, knowing the people and processes behind it, communicating its qualities honestly, and creating the right connection between the maker and the buyer.

The Flora Co. is therefore being built as a bridge between Indian makers and global buyers — supporting wholesale sourcing, customization and long-term business relationships.

My aim is to make discovering and sourcing from India more transparent, personal and meaningful.

Swati Manohar

Why Sustainability?

At The Flora Company, sustainability is more than a trend. It is a conscious approach to the way products are sourced, made and brought to market. We believe everyday products can be thoughtfully designed to support responsible material choices, traditional craftsmanship and a more sustainable future.

Our focus is on bringing together products made from plant-based and other responsibly sourced materials, including plant-based leather, hand-block printed textiles, bamboo, jute and water hyacinth. By working with manufacturers and artisan partners, we aim to connect international buyers with distinctive products that combine functionality, craftsmanship and responsible material choices.

Sustainability Backed by Documentation

We believe sustainability claims should be supported by credible evidence. For applicable products, relevant certifications, laboratory test reports and supporting documentation can help substantiate product and material claims.

  • PETA-Approved Vegan: Relevant approval or supporting documentation for applicable vegan products.
  • Material Composition: Documentation supporting claims about the materials used in products.
  • Organic Cotton: Relevant certification supporting organic cotton claims for applicable textile products.
  • Azo-Free Dyes: Relevant laboratory test reports supporting azo-free dye claims.
  • Additional Product Certifications: Applicable certifications and test reports supporting other material, sourcing and product-related claims.

We are committed to transparency in our sourcing and to sharing relevant product documentation with buyers, helping them make informed sourcing decisions.

Our Philosophy

For us, sustainability means combining responsible material choices with thoughtful sourcing, respect for craftsmanship and transparency. We aim to build long-term relationships with suppliers and international buyers around products whose materials, qualities and claims can be substantiated.

The Flora Company — Choose Sustainability.
