Nine traditions, one unbroken continuum
From the 16-stage indigo resist of Ajrakh in Kutch to the gossamer supplementary weft of Jamdani in Bengal, every textile in our archive is made by human hands using plant and mineral chemistry.

Computer screens cannot convey the cool hand of wet-processed river cotton, the wild slub of rainfed Kala, or the gossamer transparency of Bengal Jamdani. We ship a curated archival pouch of nine 10×10 cm swatches with dye lot numbers in pencil.
