So we are taking baby steps towards a big mission – to redefine luxury bed linen that feels good inside and out.

Like many of you, we thought luxury bed linen was about high thread counts, Egyptian cotton, big price tags…

What we discovered was that there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. We are working hard to soon bring you the softest, purest bed linen – 100% Organic, Ethical and Sustainable – from farm to finish, from seed to sheet.

On the surface I may come across as an extrovert but I'm quite a private person. To the extent that I don't post much on Facebook and whilst the business may have arisen from a need based around the children (even the name came from our two boys - Ajun and A***n!) I have made a conscious effort to keep them away from social media. So why did I decide to make this post today?
Well I have dwelled over this for a long while and Ive finally concluded that I owe this to my supporters who are helping Ara Living grow. Especially as it's
I am a mum of 2 young boys, I have a demanding full time job and I also run Ara Living. I love each and every bit of it [needless to say, NOTHING tops messing around with my boys!] But I must admit that sometimes the stress of it all starts becoming overwhelming; days when it seems like all the balls in the air are about to come crashing down; days where I find myself questioning whether I have been a good mum/wife/friend/daughter/colleague; days where I feel I'm struggling to keep my head above water.
But just when it starts getting a bit too much, I reach out to my support system, the rocks in my life - my family and friends to help me get the balance back. That's all it takes for me!
But I do know that there is far too many people who continue to suffer in silence, perhaps for the fear of being judged or those who are in denial about the issue in the first place ... According to , 1 in 6 people in England suffer from a common mental health problem in any given week.
This , I wanted to say, let's start the conversation. Let's not try to brush it under the carpet - is just as important. After all, it affects EVERYTHING around us.
I'd love to hear your views - if you've had similar moments and what your coping mechanisms are.
In the meantime, have a Happy Friday! 😀

Last week we got featured in an exclusive interview with .juniper, speaking about why our 'bed clothes' matter just as much as our own clothing does!⠀
⠀
Whilst we may be waking up to (try as much as we may, can't resist the sleep references!) sustainable fashion, find out why we must not forget about the other BIG consumer of fabrics.⠀

It's so we've decided to take a break from packing orders and share with you all some of the people behind Ara sheets... Meet Meghanadh Gharami. Meghanadh has been working in the stitching department of our factory in India for the past 10 years. Apart from a fair wage, he receives house rent allowance (5% of his gross salary), pension, provident fund contribution, annual bonus, subsidised meals, scholarship for his daughter's education, and many other benefits that are a norm in the developed world. Meghanadh is also the Secretary of the Trade Union.
Five years on from 24 April 2013, the day that Rana Plaza collapsed, taking away the lives of 1,138 factory workers and affecting more than 3,000 families - we are sat here wishing, amongst other things, they had a trade union.. We wish they had some kind of representation for collective strength to stand up against oppressive company managements that forced them to come into work, despite visible cracks within the building.
We wish there was someone hearing their voices...
Whilst we can't undo the past, we can make our purchases matter, not just in fashion, but another big consumer of textiles - bed linens. 🛌
All Ara Living bed linen is produced in Fairtrade certified factories - from ginning, spinning, weaving to stitching and hand-finishing - all mills have worker welfare central to company management. From seed to sheet, all our bedding is ethically and sustainably made.
And that's not it. We realise that not all workers are as fortunate as Meghanadh. So we have committed to contributing a part of our profits to help fight modern slavery. Help us in our cause - think of who made your sheets.
Because everyone deserves a good night's sleep 😴
