How we
make Matteurs

Our products are hand made in India, in the heartland of the fashion waste problem.

Our factory is powered by green energy, using recycled water with all local workers fairly treated and paid, with a strong emphasis on supporting women.

This is how
it happens

Shred

We begin our process by gathering 100% Cotton fabric waste from fast fashion factories. It is sorted and then shredded into tiny workable pieces.
Mill

We take the shredded waste and begin churning, agitating and milling it in recycled water to loosen the cotton fibres apart.
Pulp

After the milling process we dry the Cotton Pulp and mix with other base materials. Creating raw Cotton Stone.
Shape

Now that our Cotton Stone raw material is malleable, we begin sculpting our vases and vessels by hand.
Colour

Once our hand shaping is complete we move into several coats of hand painting.
Dry

Unlike traditional ceramics, Cotton Stone does not require energy intense kiln firing. Instead we use the ever abundant resource of sunshine. After 3 weeks drying, we're ready to ship.
