For us, true luxury is not a fleeting trend, but a philosophy built on mindful choices and a commitment to enduring excellence. At Bombay Birds, we've created a lifestyle brand to showcase the vibrant splendor of India's cottage industries, bringing their artistry to our home in Switzerland.
Since 2014, Bombay Birds has been a proud part of the Slow Fashion Movement, choosing deliberate craft over the chaos of fast fashion. This chaos is created by cheap thrills of throwaway trends that come at the brutal cost of exploited resources, fading handcrafts, exploiting artisans, and overflowing landfills. We stand against the lies of greenwashing that sell plastic-made fashion in “sustainable” cotton bags.
Our Founding Principles
The term "Slow Fashion" was coined in 2007 by Dr. Kate Fletcher, a British pioneer of the movement. Her work emphasized powerful yet simple principles that have become foundational to our own mission, guiding us every step from design to final production.
We prioritize Quality Over Quantity. Our approach to Minimal Waste focuses on small-batch production and biodegradable materials.
We are committed to Ethical Partnerships from fair wages to safe working conditions, and respect for every artisan we work with.
Our designs are Ageless, transcending fleeting trends to create cherished heirlooms.
We are dedicated to Community and Craft, preserving cultural heritage.

India's Enduring Spirit
From Kashmir's rich weaving cultures to Rajasthan’s diverse handcraft traditions, these artisanal practices are a symbol of a life lived slowly and sustainably. Here, artisans’ hands shape natural fibres and stones into exquisite objects that you can hold dear always.
India's craft cultures, however, are in rapid decline. The Indian Ministry of Textiles recently reported a 40% decline in artisans over a single decade, as modernization's pull tempts them to cities and village ateliers grow silent.
