The new label is inspired by the existing body of Moksa pieces, which draws upon the old to create something new. Heaven is reinvented around us, through the awareness we put out. Moksa represents fashion-consciousness in a slow fashion, socially responsible business model by using only materials, which have been, sourced through ethical, organic and Fair Trade suppliers. Some of the pieces are then embellished by home workers or inmates in the UK Prison System, through the Charity Fine Cell Work. Our Freedom Tees, made of organic cotton sourced in Turkey are created by a cooperative in Gaza and the West Bank. In everything we do, we leave our fingerprint of sustainability and respect to the Earth.

For so long, ethical fashion has represented compromising style, in a patchwork, unwearable array of sack cloths. Moksa adds glamour and style to a market which is growing by 81% in the UK, annually. The contemporary buyer of high end women’s fashion is an educated and intelligent consumer. The back story of Moksa Surya, the attention to embroidery and other detailed embellishment and knowing that the garment has been made through the energy and consciousness of sharing, ensure that the woman in Moksa clothing defines her own style statement, the clothing is an accessory and it complements her , she is not branded by wearing the clothes.
