Trinjan – In Rhythm With Land, Tradition, And Nature!

About Trinjan

Trinjan refers to an age-old Punjabi tradition where women would gather in their villages to spin charkhas, embroider, stitch, while singing songs, playing games, and sharing each other’s sorrows and joys.

Trinjans were vibrant spaces of sisterhood, creativity, and deep-rooted cultural, ecological, and emotional connection. Here, craft was inseparable from community and care. However, such gatherings and crafts are both becoming increasingly rare, as production moves to large industries and communities are broken by urbanisation.

Join us in rekindling the spirit of trinjans.

Our approach

Trinjan is a social enterprise that aims to be as environmentally and socially sustainable as possible, and we are always researching how we can do this better.

We work closely with rural artisan collectives and local craft clusters, and actively connect different groups with each other within close geographical regions. We empower artisan groups through above-market compensation, ethical production, design input, sustainability-related interventions, and visibility in both urban and global markets.

We try to produce zero-waste crafts, design for sustainability, and use techniques that honor the land, the hands that make them, and the traditions they come from. Our work takes place deep in indigenous craft clusters – a way of making that is mindful, communal, and in harmony with nature.

Our products are checked for quality and final finishing in our studio in Lahore, before they head to our customers in environmentally friendly packaging. We ask our consumers to use these products with care, learn about the crafts and the artisans, and make sure these products are passed down generations.
