BANJARA

The nomadic tribes or the Banjaras were wandering groups. They did not limit themselves with the boundaries and binds of the urban life. This spirit of roaming from places to places reflected a sense of liberty.

Banjara embroidery is a combination of colourful threads, design patters, mirror work, stitching patterns appliqué or patch work. Embroidery is done on thirteen different colours of base fabric among which dark blue or red are commonly used.

All the Banjara fabrics that we use are truly vintage and carry their story proudly.

Ikat

This collection is partly made out of up-cycled Ikat Cotton leftovers that we handpicked along our travels through India, our Ikat Cotton capsule collection is very easy to style and combine due to its soft colors. A must for everyone who loves all-natural and handcrafted fabrics. Ikat is a very time-consuming dyeing technique originating from Indonesia used to pattern textiles that employ resist dyeing on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. In ikat, the resist is formed by binding individual yarns or bundles of yarns with a tight wrapping method applied in the desired pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X8HTSTeKEs

Kantha

Another craftmanship that we use in our Cotton Collection is Kantha. The fabric has been up-cycled out of cotton blankets that we handpicked along our travels through India.

Our Kantha designs are very easy to style and combine due to their soft colors. After we select the blankets they are decorated with a handicraft called Kantha which is a small straight running stitch that can be simple or multi-colored, all hand-stitched, and thus its typical irregular sequence.

Kantha is one of the oldest forms of embroidery, originated in India, and represents today a craft practiced by millions of South Asian women.

A gentle and warm hug of a one-of-a-kind, all artisan-made, pure wool collection.

Pashmina refers to cashmere wool of the Changthangi cashmere goat, fine Indian cashmere wool or to a synonym for cashmere wool.

The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir pashm it refers to the raw unspun wool of domesticated goats. In today’s common language, pashmina may refer either to the material or to the variant of the Kashmir shawl that is made from it.

Both cashmere and pashmina come from the same goat but typical cashmere ranges from 12 to 21 microns in diameter, whereas pashmina can also refer to a cashmere and silk blend (70 % / 30 %) that has a typical fiber range from 12 to 16 microns. 

All the designs are up-cycled out of Pashmina shawls or bedcovers that we handpicked along our travels through India. Our Pashmina collection includes the softest and certainly most elegant pieces of our collection which can be cherished all year around.
As our most important brand characteristic, all designs are unique, one-of-a-kind, and true pieces of art.

We hope that you can feel and celebrate the uniqueness and love put into every stitch of this item.

Clothes full of detailed embroidery, history, and emotions.

Our Suzani Collection has become our signature style. Our designs are colorful, hand-embroidered extremely rare. Those garments can be worn on a daily basis with the help of sneakers or boots, as well as on special occasions combined with elegant jewels and shoes.

A suzani is a large, hand-embroidered textile panel; the word comes from the Persian word Suzan, which means needle. Originating in the 19th century in Uzbekistan, women produced these fabulous embroidered pieces often as dowries for their daughters. The mothers were embroidering little messages representing the wishes they had for their daughter's marriage and future. Those are often decorated with flowers (blossoming) or fruits (fertility).

The way of communication through symbols and signs reminds us of love letters, here, from a mother to their daughter communicated through a piece of cloth and in our case, from us to you - the new owner of one of those beautiful pieces.

The Difference between our Suzani capsule collection and our Love Letter Collection?

Every item we name Suzani is made with a rather vintage wall carpet. This embroidery is made out of cotton or/and died with natural colours. The Love Letter Collection has a newer, more colourful look. Its embroidery is made out of silk and it looks more elegant and precise, which explains the price difference between the Suzani and Love Letter collection.

All theses designs are up-cycled out of Suzani blankets or wall hangers that we handpicked along our travels through India. Garments with these fabrics represent without a doubt our most original pieces . All one-of-a-kind and true pieces of art, that will hopefully be cherished among generations.

The chosen suzani fabrics are turned into these unique coats, blazers, pants etc. by the vintage masters Deephak and his brother Kishore: a small family business in Jodhpur, Northern India, with whom we’ve been co-creating these special Suzani capsule collections since 2020.
