Anise is a medicinal plant also known as ‘Star anise’ or ‘चक्र फूल’, the tree of Anise in Sanskrit is called Anishuna – ‘The Tree of Stars’.
Anishuna – The Cottony Affair, is a sustainable clothing brand. We bring you the best quality of cotton, handprinted by our artisans and we use vegetable dyes, which makes our products best for the skin and environment. Cotton is a natural fibre that is easily decomposed. The clothing industry is one of the most polluting industries, to make bulk clothes, plastic or synthetic materials are used. These clothes take more than 100 years to decompose.
Our Karigars put their heart and soul to create beautiful patterns on fabric. We design clothes that are connected with the Indian roots yet advancing with the new you.
Anishuna started in 2020, from Indore, a city in Central India, a state that produces many sustainable fabrics such as Batik, Bagh, Maheshwari and Chanderi. Bherugarh a place near Indore where it all began to take a shape of a brand, we then started exploring and reached Bagh. We then moved a little further to the state of heritage and culture in Rajasthan and included, Dabbu, Bagru, Bandhani and Jaipuri hand block prints.
To become an international brand promoting sustainable clothing and living. We aim to build a strong community that uplifts the artisans by appreciating their hard work and dedication.
We plan to include handmade prints and handwoven fabrics from across India. We are committed to being sustainable and supporting Anishuna’s vision. We believe in a zero-waste policy. All the remaining cloth pieces are used to make clothes for kids in orphanages. By reducing plastic in our clothes Anishuna takes steps to stop global warming. Join us in our mission.
