Since its formal inception on April 27, 2021, the Lohije Fashion Brand has achieved notable achievements that position it as an emerging force in the fashion landscape.

This sustainable fashion brand demonstrates a profound dedication to sustainability that encompasses more than just its product offerings by engaging in meaningful partnerships with local artisans and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to foster community development initiatives. One notable effort, the “Waste is White” initiative, focuses on upcycling fashion items in collaboration with skilled artisans, with a commitment to directing 10% of each sale towards the funding of ongoing community projects or supporting artisan communities.
