Cotton Rack is an ethical Lifestyle Brand owned and operated by Rayil Kul Associates. We love handspun and hand-woven fabrics and we like to keep it sophisticated with minimal designs and clean cuts.

Cotton Rack is a retail and manufacturing brand. We sell our products through our website, various e-commerce portals, physical stores across the world. We at Cotton Rack, love to interact directly face to face with our customers and for this specific reason, we also participate in various exhibitions across the country.

At cottonrack.com, we also aim to showcase and recommend products from other craftsmen, brands and designers whom we like and find legit.

Cotton Rack intends to make social impact-

- By working exclusively with handspun and handwoven fabrics which are skin-friendly and have near zero-carbon footprint.

- By providing better livelihood to the stakeholders, ie, artisans, craftsmen and everyone involved in the process of making a Cotton Rack product. Along with, ensuring a level of transparency for consumers to verify our claims.

- By aiming to be an honest to a fault brand.

Cotton Rack directly works with weavers and artisans for raw materials (fabrics, etc) and also sources the same co-operative societies, NGOs and Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and Khadi Village Industries Board (KVIB) warehouses across India. The garments are then manufactured in our own workshop or at the facilities that are inspected by us and known to be ethical. We guarantee the authenticity of each and every product we sell.

Cotton Rack uses only Gandhi Charkha or Ambara Charkha (types of Hand spinning wheels) spun yarn that is spun by spinners in small villages across the country. The yarn is loosely spun which gives the final fabric softness and breathability. Once, the yarn is handspun, it is used to weave fabric on pitlooms and floor looms by weavers (mostly) of the same village or neighbouring ones.

No. We cannot call our fabrics Khadi, since, we are not registered with KVIC and as of now we haven't licensed Khadi trademark as per the Indian government regulations. However, the constitution of our fabric is same and in certain cases the raw material is sourced from affiliated/certified Khadi institutions as discussed under an earlier question.

No, Cotton Rack doesn't claim any fabric utilised currently to be organic unless specified in the product description. What we do ensure is that all the fabrics are made using natural raw materials and by hand with utmost love.

Well, the answer to this totally depends on your definition of "Sustainable". Cotton Rack products are not conciously made to be sustainable. Being sustainable is the by-product of what we create. At the end of the day, we don't like talking about sustainability because it is now an abused term. We rather talk about #Responsibility that we all have to collectively realise and take while making choices in what we consume and in what quantities do we consume. Also, at our end, we aim to be zero-waste and utilise our resources wisely while lowering our dependency on chemicals and mechanical processes in the production.
