<a href="https://behno.com/" target="_blank">Behno</a>&nbsp;is known for its positive initiatives, such as the Garment Worker Project, which aims to reveal the less visible facets of fashion by crediting those behind each design. The label also ensures minimal environmental impact by sourcing sustainable materials and recycling any production waste while using energy-saving machinery in its factory. Behno also partnered with the National Down Syndrome Society. Most recently, Punjya designed a capsule collection that benefits the NDSS with items like a tote dubbed the Nini inspired by his sister, who has Down syndrome.

The brand&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.kayudesign.com/" target="_blank">Kayu</a>&nbsp;uses quality and natural materials such as straw that have been harvested, stripped and dyed by hand to make their bags and hats. Most straw is made with plastic, but Kayu&rsquo;s fades with time giving it a unique look, and eventually, the straw biodegrades on its own. They also use vegetable leather to make their sandals, which is made using only natural and organic tannins with no chemicals. Factory scraps are also upcycled into small accessories, and some are donated to use as fertilizer. These high qualities, timeless pieces are made to last year after year.
