“Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangal Murti Morya”
Ganesha Chaturthi, a time when devotees across the world invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of new beginnings. As we celebrate this auspicious occasion, it’s a moment for reflection, renewal, and embracing positive change.

We embarked on a quest to conquer the fabric landscape, seeking alternatives to the menacing polyester that engulfs landfills and wreaks havoc on our climate. Today, on this sacred day, we urge everyone to shed old habits and embrace a sustainable way of life, beginning with eco-friendly clothing choices this festive season.

The Tale of Lord Ganesha: Triumph Over Adversity
In the grand tapestry of Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha’s story stands out as a powerful symbol of resilience, adaptation, and divine intervention. The legend narrates how Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, came into being and overcame a significant obstacle:
Verse: “Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha
Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvada”
Ganesha, born of Goddess Parvati’s divine essence, was entrusted with the task of guarding her chambers. When Lord Shiva, Ganesha’s father and the Supreme God, returned after a long absence, he was denied entry by the vigilant Ganesha. In a fit of anger, Lord Shiva severed Ganesha’s head. Witnessing the sorrow of his beloved wife, Lord Shiva resolved to right his grievous mistake. He instructed his followers to bring him the head of the first living being they encountered, which happened to be an elephant. With this new head, Lord Ganesha was resurrected, embodying the perfect fusion of divine grace and earthly adaptation.
Melvin Jones’ Quest: Conquering Polyester’s Menace
Much like Lord Ganesha’s journey, Melvin Jones embarked on a quest of its own. Our mission was to find fabrics that could liberate us from the clutches of polyester—a material that has become a monstrous presence in landfills, endangering our environment and climate.
Polyester, derived from petroleum, has inundated the fashion industry for decades. It’s inexpensive, durable, and versatile, making it a go-to choice for clothing manufacturers worldwide. However, its dark side lies in its non-biodegradable nature. Polyester garments, once discarded, can take centuries to decompose, adding to the ever-growing burden of landfills and contributing to environmental degradation.
Verse: “Gajananam Bhoota Ganadi Sevitam
Kapittha Jambu Phalasaara Bhakshitam
Uma Sutam Shokavinaashakaaranam
Namaami Vighneshwara Paada Pankajam”
With the blessings of Lord Ganesha, we embarked on a journey to seek alternatives—fabrics that would not only align with our commitment to sustainability but also inspire a shift in the fashion industry toward a more eco-conscious future. Our search led us to the realm of natural fabrics, each with its unique qualities and contributions to a sustainable lifestyle. Our collections use the most historical and natural fabrics cotton, linen, jute, bamboo, sugarcane, soy, orange and research goes on forever.
Eco-Friendly Fabric Alternatives: Embracing Change
In our relentless pursuit, we discovered a treasure trove of natural fabrics that resonated with our vision:
Bamboo: A fast-growing plant, bamboo offers a sustainable source for fabric production. Its natural antibacterial properties and softness make it a prized choice.
Jute and Hemp: These fibrous plants yield textiles that are not only eco-friendly but also durable and versatile.
Cotton and Linen: Classic choices, cotton and linen have been staples in the world of natural fabrics, known for their breathability and comfort.
Fruit Fiber Fabrics: Innovations led us to fabrics made from banana peels, orange peels, and more, showcasing nature’s boundless potential.
“Vighna Harta, Vighna Karta, Vighna Naashana, Mangala Moorta,
Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vinayaka, Vinayaka”
Just as Lord Ganesha’s new head symbolized a harmonious blend of the divine and earthly, our fabric choices echo this union. We have woven sustainability into the very fabric of our brand, creating clothing that not only embraces style but also nurtures the planet.
