a unique hand shibori towel made in hand spun Kala (organic) cotton and dyed in natural indigo.
*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.
*natural indigo is dyed in 100% fructose based fermentation.
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.
