Kardo was launched in 2013 to go against the grain of fast-fashion, after founding Londoner Rikki Kher moved to New Delhi in 2004. Inspired by traditional work-wear and tailoring, Kardo dresses the modern man with subtle twists on classic silhouettes with a focus on attention to details.
Kardo aim in all aspects of their craftmanship to 'slow things down', honouring traditional weaving, dying and printing techniques. Produced in India, the brand utilise local techniques such as using fabrics such as Natural Dyed Handloom, Block Printing, IKAT, Natural Indigo Denim, Shibori and Chikankari embroidery. In addition, Kardo actively support and collaborate with handloom weaving communities throughout India in the hope that these traditional techniques don’t die out whilst lowering their environmental impact as much as possible.
