Today is Soil Day! And to celebrate, I want to introduce you to Mama Yundri, one of our MAMA TANAH (“Soil Mothers”) who grew your SukkhaCitta piece.
Mama Yundri is part of a group of women we call "Ibus"—resilient, skilled mothers who grow and harvest the natural fibers that become the beautiful, sustainable pieces you wear. For Mama Yundri, this work isn’t just about farming—it’s about providing for her family and ensuring a brighter future for her children.
A Farmer and a Mother
With every planting season, Mama Yundri pours her heart into the land, cultivating the cotton that forms the foundation of our farm-to-closet pieces. Her hands shape the earth’s abundance into raw materials that we transform into your SukkhaCitta pieces.
As she says, "My mother would always tell me, 'Without cotton, we would tread this earth naked.'" For Mama Yundri, cotton isn’t just a crop—it’s a way of life. A deep-rooted tradition that connects her to the land, her community, and the generations before her.
Your Support Makes a Difference
By choosing SukkhaCitta, you’re not just wearing beautiful clothes—you’re supporting farmers like Mama Yundri. Your purchase helps ensure fair wages, sustainable farming practices, and opportunities for women who are shaping the future of their communities through their work.
Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey. Together, we’re creating more than just clothing—we’re crafting a better future.
With gratitude,
Denica
