Sustainability Summary
- This is an unclaimed profile. Roopa Pemmaraju has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Roopa Pemmaraju positions RP New York as a fashion brand built around craftsmanship, longevity, and social impact. The brand says it creates heirloom-quality garments designed to endure beyond seasons, using natural fibers, recycled materials, and low-impact techniques such as hand weaving, hand knitting, hand block printing, and digital printing. It also says pieces are produced in limited quantities or made to order to reduce excess waste and overproduction. Through Refugee Atelier, the brand collaborates with a New York-based nonprofit social enterprise that supports refugee and immigrant women through sewing, training, mentorship, and employment opportunities.
