100 hands at FGL
This is my job. FGL Store. Let me tell you a bit about the process.
How amazing to work with so many talented souls. I’m beyond grateful that these people come into our lives over 3 years ago.
I was browsing around on Instagram, seeing a post I thought was rather beautiful. Wrote a little email asking about a collaboration was possible, told some about our FGL store and how we work.
Few emails later, We received our first garments.
Years later we now workes daily together to get a stunning collection.
Dafu Devi. The mom of printing. She’s been printing for 45 years. Talk about dedication, and perfection.
The print you see on my shirt is exaclty the same as you see on the table, the print is made of clay.
Each family have their own reciepe.
After it’s been dried, the garments next step is colouring. We use mostly indigo flower since our shop is almost 90% blue products ..
Indigo flower, a powerful blue natural colour.
About 100 hands creating our products.
What they breathe, touch and absorb during our production matters . Sustainable fashion is not only about ethical wages and the environment ~ it’s about individual health.
From farmers cutters sewers ~ using natural dyes and working in a traditional way makes a huge difference to many.
Even for you ~ the buyer.
Thanks for choosing FGL clothing.

Tycker det är så fantastiskt hela ert arbetssätt. Att veta att någon har lagt sin hand vid varje plagg. Och att det är ett familjeföretag gör det hela ännu mer speciellt på något sätt.
