Material

The model is wearing a Tussar Peace silk scarf.

This piece is for those who believe in the beauty of handmade and the power of cloth to tell stories. In this age of fast fashion, watching the slow process of making fabric by hand is almost meditative. There is an entire army of rural artisans behind creating this work of art, which is the consequence of hundreds of hours of intensive craftsmanship. Each is one of a kind, ethical and produced in a small batch; truly a fabric with a soul!


TEXTILE STORY
Well, once in every few months, my boys lose interest in the old blocks and want something new. I retorted back “Creativity doesn't flow when you want, least of all when you’re bored. It’s a time consuming process which requires the right bandwidth and frame of mind”. However, during the lunch break, I noticed the oldest of the lot, playfully creating something with a broken pencil. Deepak on the other hand took a chalk and made some random drawings on the floor. I knew they were trying to pique my interest. Whilst it was mostly just stripes and circles, what caught my attention were the imperfectly drawn straight lines. I quickly sketched the design onto a rough paper and handed it over to our head printer. I heard the concern in his voice when he said, “Madam yeh sili tho teda hai” (these lines are imperfect)." Well, that's what makes it perfect Bachchu", I smiled. Somehow this time I wanted the colour to do the talking, and the print, to have a blended in, almost distressed effect. I chose my favourite,Salmon and Coffee and of course in the end, we had to offset the stripes with circles, the aeshaane way!


Fun fact - When you look at design, the dots steal the show, but honestly we created it the other way round!
