Your Guide to Ethical Manufacturing in India
For over 20 years, I’ve worked on both sides of the table — running a fair trade factory in Jaipur and directing a U.S. artisan brand. I know the challenges indie founders face and how to turn ideas into ethical, achievable production. Watch this quick intro to see how I can help you bridge the gap.
Bringing your designs to life in India can feel overwhelming.
Factories quote huge minimums.
Timelines shift with every season.
Sampling is confusing (and expensive).
It’s hard to know which suppliers are truly ethical.
Without guidance, indie founders often waste months — and thousands of dollars — chasing the wrong leads.
Your designs can do more than look beautiful — they can support livelihoods and preserve heritage.
How I Can Help
I’m Shari Keller, founder of East-West Consulting. I’ve spent 20 years on both sides of this world — as Executive Director of a fair trade factory in Jaipur, India, and as Creative Director of a U.S. artisan fashion and homewares brand.
I know what it takes to bridge vision and production. My role isn’t to run your factory — it’s to give you the roadmap, the vetted supplier introductions, and the confidence to do it right the first time.
Ethical manufacturing is not a trend — it’s the future of fashion that respects both people and planet.
