A Journey through the Loom

The blindfolded brilliance of Double Ikat

Weavers’ trust in the unseen

Artisans tie and resist-dye thousands of threads before weaving - a calculated risk of skill. Only on the loom does the vision resolve: soft geometry emerges with a distinctive, feathery edge.

This is ikat: where meticulous planning embraces beautiful imperfection, creating patterns that are records of the human hand in dialogue with possibility.

The woven luminosity of Gyasar

Weavers’ alchemy of thread and light

Imagine a fabric woven with threads of precious metal - a technique historically reserved for ceremonial textiles.

This is Gyasar: an alchemy of silk and metallic thread where patterns are born from within the weave itself, creating a subtly raised, luminous texture.

The seamless integrity of Tanchoi silk

Never printed, never embroidered

Tanchoi: where the pattern is woven in, not on.

This is the art of inlay, where the design is built into the very architecture of the cloth as it is woven, creating a single, seamless, and often reversible surface.
