Our process

From fibre
to feeling.

Every Astara piece is shaped by the choices made before it reaches your room.

Made within Mohan Spintex’s integrated mills Andhra Pradesh, India

Where better sleep begins

We start at the source,
and stay close to every step.

The way bedding feels cannot be added at the end. It comes from fibres chosen with intention, yarns spun with consistency, weaves designed for breathability and finishes judged by touch.

Because Astara is crafted within a vertically integrated home-textile ecosystem, we can care for the whole journey—not only the finished sheet. That is how quality becomes something you can feel.

A FRAGMENTED MODEL

In a fragmented supply chain, individual stages may be handled by separate partners. Our integrated model keeps the making connected from fibre development through the finished piece.

01 · Fibre sourcing

Our journey begins
with the material.

We choose the fibre according to the feel, performance and purpose of each Astara collection—then test it before spinning begins.

Choosing with intention

Astara’s material portfolio includes pure cotton and, for select collections, certified organic cotton alongside Supima, Egyptian cotton, linen and considered blends. Each fibre follows the specification created for the collection rather than a one-material-fits-all approach.

Organic claims apply only to the relevant certified collections.

Understanding the material

Certified organic cotton
and conventional cotton.

Different growing systems follow different requirements. This comparison explains the general distinction; exact outcomes vary by farm, region and certification.

Consideration Certified organic cotton Conventional cotton
Seed standard

Non-GM seed required under organic standards

Seed choice depends on the farming system

Agricultural inputs

Synthetic pesticides and fertilisers are restricted

May use synthetic agricultural inputs

Soil approach

Emphasises soil health and crop-management practices

Practices vary by farm and region

Ecosystem care

Organic standards include environmental safeguards

Environmental safeguards vary by programme

Traceability

Certified documentation follows the organic supply chain

Organic certification is not applicable

Astara uses different cotton qualities and blends across its portfolio. Product-specific fibre and certification details should be checked on the individual collection.

The making of Astara

Five chapters.
One continuous standard.

01Sourcing · Fibre testing

The fibre

Comfort begins before the first thread.

We choose each fibre for the way the finished fabric should feel, breathe and live. The fibre is then examined for length, strength, cleanliness and consistency—because the quality of bedding is decided long before it reaches a loom.

Pure cotton · Organic cotton · Supima · Egyptian cotton · Linen

02Spinning · Yarn quality control

The yarn

Softness needs a strong foundation.

Clean fibres are aligned and spun into smooth, resilient yarns. Uniformity, strength and twist are checked before weaving so that softness is supported by the quiet durability needed for night after night of use.

121,488 spindles · 75 tonnes of yarn per day

03Weaving · Fabric optimisation

The weave

Structure becomes sensation.

Across high-precision wider-width looms, yarn becomes cloth. The construction is chosen with purpose—airy percale, fluid sateen or textured dobby—then optimised to achieve the intended balance of hand-feel, breathability and performance.

348 looms · 100,000 metres per day

04Dyeing · Printing · Washing · Finishing

The finish

Colour, softness and character emerge.

Dyeing, printing, washing and finishing bring the fabric to life. Every stage is calibrated to develop the intended shade, drape and touch while preserving the natural character of the material.

120,000 metres of wider-width processing per day

05Stitching · Final quality inspection

The final piece

Nothing leaves without a final touch.

Skilled hands cut, align and stitch each piece before it is checked for weave, colour, measurement, seams and finish. Astara bedding is packed only when every detail meets the standard we want you to feel from the first night.

300,000 sheet sets crafted each month

The beauty of control

One home for
the entire process.

Spinning, weaving, processing and stitching come together across Mohan Spintex’s integrated facilities in Andhra Pradesh.

When each stage speaks to the next, quality becomes more consistent, ideas move more freely and every detail can be traced back to the decision that shaped it.

Material intelligence

Thread count is only
one part of the story.

Fibre quality, yarn construction, weave and finish decide how a sheet truly feels. Across Astara’s 144–1000 thread-count range, each collection is developed for a distinct expression of comfort.

01

Percale

Cool, matte
and airy.

A clean, breathable crispness.
02

Sateen

Smooth, fluid
and lustrous.

A gentle drape with a soft sheen.
03

Dobby

Textural
and refined.

Subtle dimension woven into the cloth.

Quality is a practice

Test. Measure.
Touch. Repeat.

Inspection is not a gate at the end. Fibre testing, yarn quality control, fabric optimisation and final inspection form a continuous loop of learning and refinement.

If a detail can change the way you sleep, it deserves our full attention.

Made by many hands

Technology gives us precision.
People give it purpose.

Behind every piece is a community of spinners, weavers, technicians, colour specialists, tailors and quality experts. Mohan Spintex employs more than 5,500 people, with women representing 60% of the workforce.

Made with tomorrow in mind

Comfort should feel
good in every sense.

Rooftop solar power, rice-husk steam generation, water recovery and rainwater harvesting are built into the way our mills work.

They are not finishing touches. They are part of our responsibility to make the textiles we live with more thoughtfully.
