Swahlee is an impact-driven fashion and lifestyle company. Its classic yet modern women's styles, with a focus on comfort, are made ethically and transparently in the brand's studio workshop in Assam, northeast India. Swahlee also offers cut-and-sew manufacturing services for like-minded brands.

Swahlee provides employment and holistic care to young women who face barriers to ethical, safe employment, with goals of preventing re-exploitation and breaking the cycle of generational poverty.

Swahlee is committed to fair wages and benefits that allow employees to plan for the future. Swahlee fosters a collaborative environment in which the talents and aspirations of individual team members can be fostered while all are included and valued.

Swahlee strives as a company to bring honor to its community through job creation, excellent work, transparent business practices, and leadership development.

Swahlee sources materials ethically from like-minded suppliers who are preserving traditional artisan skills and from surplus markets to minimize textile waste. The company specializes in all-natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and ahimsa silk, for their breathability and their minimal environmental footprint.

As much as possible, Swahlee uses handloom fabric because its creation is people-intensive, leading to more jobs and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship. The perfectly imperfectness of these fabrics is evidence of the human hands behind every weave.
