Sustainability

At The Blue Trunk, we are truly committed to the cause of sustainability. Our core philosophy of promoting regional arts and crafts of India and bringing appreciation of Indian vintage to the masses, is how we bring alive the concept of sustainability. We are constantly trying to ensure that we reduce our carbon footprint in our journey to become a leading sustainable brand in the country.

• Our brand supports artisans and their livelihoods by promoting traditional crafts practiced by various communities and organizations. 

• We ensure the use of resource conscious practices in the creation of our handcrafted products.

• Almost all materials used in the creation of our handcrafted products are natural and organic.

• In the age of mass consumerism, our curation brings forth products that are carefully handcrafted and have a longer life.

• Vintage products are preloved and their reuse helps us in meeting one of the 3R principles (reduce-reuse-recycle) of waste management, thereby contributing to reducing waste generation. 

• We use recycled corrugated boxes, newspaper and minimum quantity of bubble wrap and tape for packaging. We also urge the customer to reuse the packaging material as far as possible.

• We try to engage in environmentally conscious travel for our sourcing. We use public transportation, stay in home-stays and follow local customs and lifestyle habits on our sourcing trips.
