Handmade Details

?

• Our hand loomed fabric is made in rural India by artisan weavers using pedals, shuttles, and manpower to weave the fabric, all without the aid of electricity.
  
  
• The multi-step process is carried out by the community, from warping yarns and winding cones, to starching fabric and setting up the loom.
  
  
• The weavers we work with are either entrepreneurs with looms in their homes or part of a weaving revival project or NGO.
  
  
• HAND BLOCK PRINTED
  
  
• We collaborate with a family of 7th generation master printers in Bagru, India to create our block printed fabric.
  
  
• Each part of the process of this ancient technique takes place in this community: hand carving blocks out of wood, creating Azo-free dyes, hand printing the fabric, and washing and setting the final textiles.
