Raymond has partnered Woolmark to create a khadi wool line. The aim is to position khadi as a fashionable fabric and empower artisans in rural India. This is a first of its kind collection in pure merino wool and blended wool.

Raymond is currently working with over 20 clusters in Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh and J&K to develop designs in pure merino wool and blended wool collections. As a part of the design intervention in more than 100 khadi clusters, Raymond also provides technical expertise to artisans to enhance product quality.
