Way back in May 2009, fibre2fashion had exclusively interviewed Mr Arun Baid, Managing Director and leant about the difference in dyeing and printing fabrics with the normal but harmful chemicals and herbal dyes.

Aura Herbal was started in 2002 and the company has turned a full circle since then. The company co-managed by his wife – Ms Sonal Baid is now supplying eco-friendly textile products to over 500 clients across the globe.

Speaking about the tie-up with Levi Strauss to fibre2fashion, Mr Baid informed, “We are doing dyeing of knits and woven for the herbal collection they are proposing. The printing will also be done herbally”.
