The Summer House

About The Summer House

The Summer House is one of India’s most respected sustainable women’s fashion labels, built on the belief that beautiful clothing and responsible production are not competing values — they are the same thing. Operating under the company Summerrays Lifestyle Pvt Ltd and based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the brand designs timeless pieces intended to be worn repeatedly across many occasions rather than discarded after a season.

Sustainable Materials

Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of production. Ninety-seven percent of all garments are made using natural fibres, with 37% of cotton garments using certified organic cotton. Nearly a quarter of all pieces are crafted from handwoven fabrics, keeping traditional weaving skills alive and economically viable for the artisan communities that practise them. All denim in the range is produced from recycled fabric, and the swimwear collection is made from Econyl — regenerated nylon derived from discarded fishing nets and ocean waste.

Artisan Partnerships

The Summer House works with 952 artisans across 17 craft clusters in India, ensuring that the economic benefits of the brand’s growth flow directly to skilled craftspeople. All dyeing facilities used in production are equipped with wastewater management systems, reducing the water pollution typically associated with garment manufacturing. This scale of artisan engagement across multiple craft traditions — block printing, hand embroidery, handloom weaving — makes The Summer House one of the more meaningful supporters of India’s craft economy.

Products and Collections

The product range covers dresses, tops, jackets, skirts, pants, co-ord sets with signature prints, and a small House and Home collection. The brand’s aesthetic is rooted in quiet elegance — designed for dinners, gatherings, and everyday occasions where the wearer wants to feel considered without being overdressed. Pieces are versatile by design: the same garment transitions across contexts and seasons, reducing the pressure to buy more.

Availability and Shipping

The Summer House ships across India and internationally. The brand maintains a flagship presence in Bengaluru and is available through curated sustainable fashion platforms. Seasonal collections and restocks are announced through the brand’s social channels and newsletter.

The Summer House’s ethos is particularly resonant for conscious shoppers in Karnataka and beyond seeking sustainable fashion that supports Indian artisans. Listed on the Prakati Green Directory as a verified sustainable business.

The Summer House has been featured in national publications as a reference point for what Indian sustainable fashion can aspire to look like at scale. The brand does not chase volume: new styles are added thoughtfully, with each piece tested for versatility and durability before release. Gift sets, curated bundles, and occasion-specific collections make it a practical choice for shoppers looking for considered presents. For those in Karnataka looking to explore the brand in person, stockist information and store locations are available on the brand website.

Conscious shoppers seeking gifts, occasionwear, or everyday pieces that reflect Indian craft traditions and environmental care will find The Summer House consistent across all these needs. The brand also supports a community of small weavers and printers by providing them with reliable, long-term orders rather than one-off commissions, which provides income stability uncommon in artisan supply chains. Its track record of working with 952 artisans across India is among the highest of any sustainable fashion brand in the country.
