Made inThe Indigo Wares garments are designed and part-produced in the UK (Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire / St Albans area) by Lisa Reddings and her seamstress Daniella, with hand-dyeing (shibori, dip-dye, block print, eco-print) done locally. Materials and brand elements are sourced from artisans in India, specifically Jaipur, Uttarakhand and Jaisalmer, including organic indigo pigment, handloom fabrics, vintage kantha quilts and block prints. So it is best described as UK-made/UK-finished using India-sourced natural textiles and dyes, rather than mass-manufactured in a single overseas factory.

Materials and brand elements are sourced from artisans in India, specifically Jaipur, Uttarakhand and Jaisalmer, including organic indigo pigment, handloom fabrics, vintage kantha quilts and block prints.

Methodology note (page footer)How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand's own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.

The Indigo Wares (trading as Indigowares, indigowares.com) is an independent, founder-owned UK slow-fashion brand created by textile designer Lisa Reddings, with no parent company. Reddings founded the brand in 2016 as an outlet after leaving mainstream fashion (she holds a Fashion Textiles with Business Studies degree from Brighton and cites ~20 years in the industry, including print/denim work in New York and London). The business is now formally incorporated as INDIGOWARES LIMITED (UK Companies House no. 15538016), incorporated 3 March 2024, with Lisa Reddings (British) as sole director. Note the two-date nuance: the brand's own founding is stated as 2016, while the limited company was registered in 2024.
Is The Indigo Wares legit and worth it?
The Indigo Wares is a real, currently-trading legitimate business. Its website indigowares.com is live and selling products in GBP (free UK shipping over £120), and INDIGOWARES LIMITED is listed as "Active" on UK Companies House (company no. 15538016, incorporated 3 March 2024, SIC 47910 retail via internet/mail order), with verified director Lisa Reddings. Multiple independent editorial features (Absolutely Magazines, House of Coco, Selvedge Magazine, The Slow Living Guide) further corroborate the brand as operating.
Is The Indigo Wares fast fashion?
The Indigo Wares is slow, small-batch fashion, not fast fashion. Pieces are described as handmade individually or in small batches and often made-to-order, using hand-dyeing techniques that the founder explicitly frames as slower and more methodical, favouring "classic timeless design over passing trends." The brand offers repairs/care to extend garment life and provides per-garment traceability, all consistent with a slow-fashion, artisan model.
Is The Indigo Wares non-toxic and safe for skin?
Certifications: Not publicly documented. No formal third-party certifications (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, B Corp or European Flax) could be verified for The Indigo Wares on its own website or in any independent source. The brand markets itself on natural/plant-based dyes, organic cotton, hemp and linen, repurposed vintage textiles, and per-garment traceability ("passport" of how and when each piece was dyed) rather than on any accredited certification scheme..

Wear it longer
Work out the real cost per wear
Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.
£0.00 per wear
Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
