 OUR CLOTHING IS STILL
ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY


COLLABORATIVE CLOTH 

Not so long ago, before COVID-19 and self-isolation hit us, we sent out a post about everything indigo. In that post we told the story of new fabrics woven by village weavers in Bengal. The threads were hand dyed indigo blue as part of a natural dye revival we were leading.  That project, like so much we do, was all about bringing people together. Our friends in India are now under lockdown. But we still celebrate their work, knowing that one day in the future we will see them again and hold their cloth in our hands.

The bolts of hand woven fabric arrived at our studio in India. We cut the cloth and shaped it into garments. Garments that spoke about all that cloth can be: threads dyed with natural indigo, threads of wild tussah silk, woven together with the mastery of generations. So many people have had a hand in making this cloth - each one of them is essential.

 With our stores shuttered to the public we have worked quickly to put these garments online and make them available to you. We've included not only garments made with this new Bengal cloth but clothing made with our new block printed organic cottons dyed in indigo and neutral tones (pomegranate skins).
