Handmade Details

HANDLOOMED

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.

JAMDANI

Our jamdani fabric is a special type of hand loomed fabric made only in rural West Bengal, India. Weavers set yarn on a loom and weave it into fabric using pedals and shuttles.

Jamdani features a special weave where each “buti,” or motif, is woven by hand using bamboo sticks and a needle, one weft line at a time, as the fabric itself is woven on a hand loom.

The motif is woven by sight and takes great skill to master. It can take up to a week to weave enough fabric for one dress.
