crafted to last — why natural fibres matter
We only use natural, renewable materials — no synthetics or blends.
Wool and silk insulate, breathe, and biodegrade at the end of their life.
But natural doesn’t mean impact-free. That’s why we’re working toward a deeper understanding of our supply chain and its effects — in partnership with the people who make each piece.

our shared goals — the UN SDGs
The UN Sustainable Development Goals guide our long-term ambitions at Khoj.
