What kind of textiles can I give to Punava?
You can enquire about old clothes such as jeans, shirts, sarees, kurtas, dresses, and other household textiles such as bedsheets. The suitability of each textile depends on its condition, material, size, and the product you wish to create.
Do I need to wash my clothes before sending them?
Your textiles do not need to be new, but they should be clean and completely dry before being sent to us. We assess each item for suitability. Severely damaged, mouldy, contaminated, or unsuitable materials may not be accepted for a particular project.
What can my old clothes be transformed into?
Depending on the quantity and suitability of your textiles, possibilities may include tote bags, pouches, laptop sleeves, duffle bags, cushions, quilts, rugs, pet beds, and other useful creations. Share your idea with us, and we'll explore what's possible.
How much does textile customization cost?
Every project is different. Pricing depends on the product, quantity, design complexity, customization requirements, and processing involved. Share your requirements through our enquiry form, and we will provide a quotation before proceeding.
How do I send my textiles to Punava?
After reviewing your enquiry, we will guide you through the available collection, pickup, or drop-off arrangements for your location. Please keep your textiles clean, dry, and securely packed.
Does Punava accept bulk orders?
Yes. We welcome enquiries for bulk projects, subject to feasibility and production capacity. Please share your required products, estimated quantity, timeline, and any customization needs.
Does Punava offer products on rent?
Yes! Punava Re gives selected products a longer life by making them available for rent. Instead of buying something you may only need for a short time, you can rent it, enjoy using it, and return it for someone else to use.
Why should I rent instead of buy?
Renting helps make better use of existing products, reduces the need for unnecessary purchases and encourages a reuse-first lifestyle. With Punava Re, you can enjoy useful products while supporting a more circular approach to consumption.
Can I rent Punava products for events or special occasions?
Yes, selected products may be suitable for events, celebrations, shoots and other temporary needs. Contact us with your requirements, preferred dates and quantity so we can check availability.
