Oshadi: From seed to shoppers abroad.

Oshadi is a traceable, regenerative fashion label that grows its own cotton and takes it all the way to the garment. Its customers are spread across the world. Pencilbuddha built Oshadi's Shopify website, shaped how the brand tells its seed-to-garment story online, and has spent more than ₹2 lakh on paid ads that bring international shoppers to the store.

01 · The brief

A label that startsin the soil.

Most fashion brands buy fabric. Oshadi starts earlier: it grows the cotton, follows it through every stage and can trace each garment back to the farm. That is the whole reason to buy it.

The job was to make that story land with a shopper in another country who has never heard of Oshadi, and to make buying from India feel as easy as buying from home.

THE PRODUCT

Traceable clothing

Regenerative cotton, grown by the brand and followed from seed to garment.

THE BUYER

Conscious shoppers abroad

People who care where clothes come from, mostly outside India.

THE JOB

Story plus store

A website that tells the story and sells, and ads that bring the right people to it.

02 · Storytelling

Tell the journey,not just the dress.

We built the brand's online story around its real chain: the seed, the farm, the people who spin, dye and stitch, and the garment at the end. The story is told in the order the cotton travels, so a shopper understands why the piece costs what it does.

The same story runs through the product pages, the about pages and the ads, so the reason to buy is never more than a scroll away.

03 · The website

A Shopify storemade to be browsed.

Pencilbuddha designed and built Oshadi's Shopify website. It has to work for two moods: someone reading slowly about the farm, and someone who already knows the brand and wants to buy.

Collections, product pages and the story pages link into each other, and the store is set up for customers buying from abroad.

BROWSE

Calm and visual

The clothes and the farm lead. Text supports, it does not shout.

BUY

Few steps

From product to checkout without detours, on any phone.

WORLDWIDE

Built for abroad

Set up for shoppers outside India.

04 · The first version

Where itstarted.

Before the store you see today, there was a first version. We designed it in Figma as a full brand refresh: a palette, a typeface with a hand-drawn twin, a kit of doodles and stitch-like lines, and every key page for desktop and phone.

Tap a tab, then tap the screen or the arrows to page through all of it.

05 · Global ads

₹2 lakh+to find shoppers abroad.

We have spent more than ₹2 lakh on Oshadi's paid ads, aimed at shoppers outside India. The ads carry the same story as the website, so the person who clicks already knows what makes Oshadi different before the page loads.

Budgets move to the countries, audiences and creatives that bring real shoppers to the store, not just clicks.

The same seed-to-garment story runs on Oshadi's Instagram: the soil, the hands, the clothes. These are recent posts from the account.
