A hand spun Kala (organic) cotton towel with kantha work, made in ecru natural cotton colour.
- Kala cotton is indigenous to Kachchh and by default organic, as the farmers do not use any pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. It is a purely rain fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests.
- Kantha is a traditional craft of running stitches used for quilting.
- The Artisans we collaborate with work from home - their spinning wheel, loom and kitchen happen in the same space - equipment might extend to the porch or a roof terrace. Family members often work as a team in charge of different operations.
- Many grow their own food and co-exist with animals. These craft communities located in remote areas have some of the smallest carbon foot prints on the planet.
- This self sufficient model has never felt more inspiring or relevant as a model for living. To decentralize production during this Covid concerned time we have launched a line of home textiles - made in home studios for your home.
- Size :45’’ x 60’’ (114.3 cm x 152.4 cm).
