MATERIALS + PROCESS
Handwoven on a pedal loom, Jamdani is a time-consuming and labor-intensive form of weaving fabric with geometric or floral motifs that are created directly on the loom using a discontinuous weft technique. Our design features a lotus mandala motif inspired by carvings found in Buddhist monastries of the upper Himalayan region.
Woven with Kala Cotton, the short staple and indegnious cotton native to kutch. Our cotton fabric features a unique diamond structure and has been dyed using Natural Indigo dye. This fabric is known to protect the wearer against the harsh heat in Kutch while keeping the wearer warm in the winter months. Our naturally dyed base fabric is yarn dyed using pomegranate to provide the rich red shade.

Produced in a limited run with exclusive handcrafted fabrics. Due to the nature of the print, each piece is unique. Indigo dyeing is a special process that also requires extra care. Indigo bleeding is normal in naturally dyed garments and after several initial washes, the color will stabilize. Over time, the natural and graceful fading process results in a uniquely personalized piece.
We recommend hand washing in cold water using natural detergents and drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are designed to last when treated with care.
