Rujuta Sheth is an NYC-based, India-connected indie designer brand (founded 2015) whose cotton and linen pieces are mostly hand-loomed in India at what the brand calls Fair Trade certified factories, with some garments made by Philippine artisans from deadstock fabric. Rujuta Sheth works with just two small Indian factories the founder personally visits a couple of times a year and describes direct relationships with owners, tailors and pattern-makers. Transparency is relationship-based and credible at the garment/weaving tier, but Rujuta Sheth publishes no factory list, no factory names or cities, and no fibre-farm, mill or dye-house detail.

How it was read: Every product listed in the brand's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually. From the product page, the store's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage is published only when 100% of the catalogue has been read. Items with no clothing textile (gift cards, packaging, jewellery, homeware) are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Why excluded: Items with no clothing textile to rate. Gift cards, packaging and returns kits, jewellery, homeware, toys, body care and checkout line-items. Removed from the fibre percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
