Muslin

Our museum-worthy muslin, crafted by less than 200 master weavers worldwide, is made using exceptionally fine threads that give it the 'woven air' fineness, although this rarity persists primarily in select Bengal artisan clusters such as Phulia, Baharampore, and Musthuli. Weaving authentic muslin is highly dependent on specific air moisture levels, making its weaving particularly challenging during the dry summer months. Despite these difficulties, the tradition of muslin weaving continues to endure in these regions.

Khadi

Khadi, the world’s most sustainable and carbon-neutral fabric, is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans who often inherit their spinning and weaving techniques through generations. Made from organic cotton or silk, khadi is characterized by its distinctive and slightly irregular texture, a testament to its handspun and handwoven nature. This unique fabric not only showcases traditional craftsmanship of India but also adapts remarkably to different weather conditions, keeping the wearer cool in summer and warm in winter, making it a versatile choice for various climates.

Jamdani

Bengal Jamdani is a traditional textile art form from West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh. It's a type of fine cotton fabric woven using a unique handloom technique, characterized by intricate floral and geometric patterns.

Jamdani weaving has a rich history dating back to the Mughal era (16th-18th centuries). The name "Jamdani" comes from the Persian words "jam" (flower) and "dani" (vase). Bengal Jamdani was highly prized by royalty and was often used to create luxurious clothing and home textiles.

Slik

The silk threads, a product of meticulous sericulture, symbolize the dedication of weavers who turn cocoons into 200-meter long strands of luxury. This handwoven mulberry silk is also known as 'Queen of Weaving' or 'Queen's Weaving'.

Hand Block Print

Pedana Kalamkari is the earliest and the most complex technique in the world of hand block-printing. A real Kalamkari is made only with natural pigments. It takes at least 10 steps and minimum 21 days to hand block print this fabric.
