Kavita Basiโ€™s Journey: From Brain Haemorrhage Survivor to Sustainable Fashion Pioneer

When Kavita Basi survived a life-threatening brain haemorrhage in 2015, her world and her priorities changed completely. After a successful career in the fast-paced world of fashion retail, Kavitaโ€™s recovery inspired her to reimagine what purpose, sustainability, and conscious consumerism could look like.

That journey led to the launch of RATION.L โ€“ a Manchester-based, family-run brand designing gender-neutral, sustainable trainers and accessories that are made to last. The brand is now a certified B Corp and proud supporter of the Brain & Spine Foundation, donating 5% of profits to the charity that helped her through her recovery.

This summer, RATION.L is inviting the community to experience their mission up close at their โ€œPadel With Purposeโ€ event in collaboration with Pure Padel Manchester.

Taking place on Saturday 5th July, the event blends sport, sustainability and style โ€“ with a live padel tournament, exclusive merch drop, local vendors, DJ sets, and more. It also marks the launch of RATION.Lโ€™s latest innovation: a trainer made using recycled tennis balls, showcasing how creativity and conscious design can go hand-in-hand.

More than just a product launch, the event celebrates Manchesterโ€™s vibrant community and shared commitment to doing things differently โ€“ proving that fashion can have both style and soul.

Join the movement. Discover RATION.L. Step into purpose.
