Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume a mix of material types. Ahluwalia uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled cotton, cupro, organic cotton, and recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including wool, polyester, triacetate, and elastane. It uses materials that have certifications from GOTS and BCI. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.
Ahluwalia doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Ahluwalia sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's packaging materials. We assume smaller brands are using a mix of materials. It doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging. It encourages choosing overnight shipping, which increases the emissions of purchases.
Ahluwalia doesn't offer repair services or support. Ahluwalia doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.
Ahluwalia doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill.

Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Ahluwalia has a prominent sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy. Like many small brands with limited resources, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report.
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking. This process can be an expensive undertaking for small brands.

Ahluwalia publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their geographic locations. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct, but does disclose other policy which prohibits forced labor. Ahluwalia has a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners, which can mitigate human and environmental risks.
Ahluwalia intentionally sources environmentally mindful product materials, but still has room to grow in other areas.
Ahluwalia appears to use primarily low emissions and certified materials, including GOTS and BCI cotton, cupro, and recycled polyester. It also uses surplus and post-consumer fabrics to make garments, which helps reduce landfill waste.
Though it's a small brand with likely limted resources, we hope to see it provide greater transparency about its packaging materials and strategies, energy strategy, emissions, and any associated reduction strategies.
