Also known by its Sanskrit name kosasilk , Tussar is produced mainly in the Eastern states of Bihar and Jharkhand. This fabric is valued for its depth of colours and sheen. The only way to do this ancient craft justice is to see it catch the light: our artisans do this by creating the wave of silk with a single stroke of our X XL brushes.
The Madras Check has defied its humble beginnings as a handkerchief and can now be seen on garments and home accents everywhere. It’s particularly a staple in the Southern states of India like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. This texture mimics the lines and “bumps” of the Madras Check by using a special roller to recreate the effect.
The Bandhej fabricarts of western India, mainly Rajasthan and Gujrat is one of the most ancient forms of tie-dye. The name is derived from the Sanskrit root bandh (to bind or tie). To create the same effect, the back of a foam roller is used to stamp each dot individually on the wall.
Ikkat is a labour intensive craft that requires years of practice to perfect. In India, the most recognisable forms of Ikkat come from the Southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Orissa. Ikkat’s signature blurry effect of resist-dyeing on silk or cot ten is recreated by trained artisans using a special brush.
Pom Pom is a texture inspired by India’s cool nor thernstates – Ladakh, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Pom Poms are decorative woollenballs attached to hats, shawls or toys that add a touch of joy to frigid winter months. The effect is achieved by stamping a balled cloth over wet paint.
Charpai evokes the typical coarse woven fabric found in the snugly woven charpais found across North India in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Our artisans use a special brush horizontally and diagonally to create the effect of woven cloth.
The eastern states are known for their distinctive cane, jute and bamboo handicrafts, which meticulously twist and weave the rough fibres into furniture, baskets and figures. Artisans achieve the textures of those natural fibres and symmetry of the woven baskets by using a Shibori roller and special effects brush.
Palm Weave is inspired by the chevron weave of giant palm leaves along India’s Western coastal states like Goa and Kerela. Think bright green thatched roofs, and intricately designed palm baskets. The midrib of the coconut leaf is mimicked with tape, while the paint is brushed on by our artisans.
