INDIA FLINT & MAIWA
Clothing made from natural fibres, sewn with cotton thread.
Ready for your dye pot, your embellishment, or to be worn as is.
HAND PAINTED WITH NATURAL DYES
Hand painting cloth with natural dyes is an ancient art. In India it is known as kalamkari, which means "pen work". The freedom to place natural colour in a painterly way requires considerable skill and natural dye knowledge.

Over the years Maiwa has learned a lot about textiles and all the processes that make them into something special. We try to share as much of this information as we can, in as many ways as we can. Videos, instruction sheets, and a dedicated web site. Here is a list of some of our free resources.

Traditional embroidery has always had a role in the world. It has always been a visual statement of skill. It has always been an expression of beauty. It has always worked to transform a plain piece of cloth into something extraordinary.

YOU SUPPLY THE CREATIVITY,
WE SUPPLY THE REST.
It's easy to express yourself through making. When you embellish with stitchwork it is as if you are drawing a line with thread. When you mend with ingenious thread-work it can be like a tiny floating weaving.
