Who is Little Tienda

For nearly 13 years, Little Tienda has been collaborating with artisan communities to create unique, handcrafted pieces. We take pride in producing small batches with limited editions, ensuring that each collection is carefully curated. Every month, we offer a new selection of styles, fabrics, colours, and sizes available online. These pieces are trans-seasonal, designed to seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe and be enjoyed year-round.

In addition to our monthly collections, we offer a range of core pieces that remain available throughout the year. Our creations, excluding the Ruth Knit, are made in Jaipur, India, where we've partnered with a family-run business for over six years. This team is not only skilled but also shares our commitment to producing with integrity and respect for both people and the environment.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

As a business owner, I frequently wrestle with the ethical dilemma of creating new clothing in a world facing climate change. The impact of rising CO2 emissions, loss of biodiversity, and water scarcity weighs heavily on my conscience. At Little Tienda, I take my responsibility seriously—not just to create beautiful products, but to educate and empower customers to make informed, conscious choices. When you purchase from us, you can trust that our decisions are aligned with both ethical practices and sustainability.

While fashion often promotes constant newness and consumption, I believe change is possible. At Little Tienda, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint without compromising our core values. We recognize the challenges and contradictions between fashion and sustainability, but we strive to make thoughtful decisions that promote a better future.

Our Environmental Impact

Climate change is the most pressing challenge we face, and while governments around the world are pressured to take action, we believe industries must play a critical role in leading change. Little Tienda is committed to doing its part, continuously learning, evolving, and making better choices every day to reduce our impact on the planet.

Our Ethical Production Process

We believe in ethical, sustainable production and strive to create a positive impact through every piece. Our production partners in Jaipur maintain a safe, well-compensated work environment that respects religious practices, holidays, and weekends. To oversee production quality and standards, we hire a female Production Manager, Sonia, who ensures that our commitment to ethics, quality, and responsibility is upheld on the ground.

Our approach is intentional and slow. We produce only 3,000 items per year, adhering to our ethos: Better, not Bigger.Rather than prioritising mass production, we focus on sustainable growth and creating unique, joyful pieces designed to last.

Materials and Craftsmanship

We use only organic fabrics that are grown, loomed, or woven in India, minimizing our environmental footprint as much as possible. Our textiles are one-of-a-kind, thanks to our use of traditional block printing, screen printing, hand-dyeing, and digital printing techniques. We design our own prints to create wearable art that is unique to our brand.

To further reduce our impact, we incorporate 100% recycled and organic materials, natural dyes, and dead-stock fabrics into our designs. This allows us to offer you beautiful, sustainable pieces that minimize your fashion footprint—without compromising on style.
