It’s the height of summer. Days spill into evenings, the air warm and fragrant. You pack a basket, spread out a quilt, and let the world slow down. Sandy toes and salty air. Waves lapping the shore. Meadows brushed with wildflowers. The gentle shade of an old tree.

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.

CARAVAN BLANKETS

Nights in the desert can be cold. When the sun goes down and the heat of the day leaves the earth, everything goes quiet. The air can be chilly, but nomadic pastoralists keep themselves warm with these robust and dramatic wool blankets.

A PATCHWORK HISTORY OF RURAL LIFE

THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH QUILT

Fields of colour, a familiar favourite cloth patched into place, a play of fabric. All pieced together and covered with tight running stitches. These vintage quilts have been cherished for years, worn out, re-made and given new life. They are medium-weight and big personality.

The weavers of Bhujodi are known as some of the most accomplished artisans working in handloom today. They have a wide range of skills and can bring their traditional design sense to play in many formats. See, for example, this incredible selection of panel blankets, bed covers, throws, scarves, and shawls.

Each quilt brings a little nostalgia for our favourite pieces of cloth. Clothing, bedding, block printing and dyeing. As we make these quilts we revisit every single piece. Contemplated. Considered. Placed.

For centuries embroidery has been an expression of personality. Over the years, working with needle and thread has been, by far, the most enduring form of personal expression; adorning cloth, piecing it together, adding strength and embellishment. In India, embroidery patterns can be so distinct that a child can recognize someone from their village just by the stitch-work on their clothing.

KASHMIR BLANKETS

Delightfully soft merino wool blankets with woven motifs. Styled after ancient Persian designs and woven in Kashmir, India.

Choose one to add a colourful accent to any bed or couch. Fold one and drape it over the back of a chair — it becomes an invitation. Snuggle under one, drape one over your knees, wrap one around your shoulders.

Kashmir blankets — woven comfort.

One or two-of a-kind only

Imagine if night were cloth and each star were really a white stitch. That's how we like to think about these quilts, and also these quilted cushion covers. Put a little bit of the night sky on your bed, or anywhere you'd like to be reminded of heaven.

HAND STITCHED AND DYED INDIGO QUILTS

One or two-of a-kind only

A patterned performance on each piece. Stitched lines, hand dyed threads, finished edges. Cushion covers skillfully embroidered to imitate weave structures. Comfort in cloth: for your bed, your chair, your couch, yourself.

HAND-STITCHED APPLIQUE

Each appliqué piece is one of a kind. They work well as bedspreads, table coverings or as curtains. Use them to tone down bright sunlight or to create a diaphanous separation between spaces.

Translucent

This hand-stitched appliqué is created by using two different layers of cotton. The design is cut on a medium-weight layer and appliquéd onto a fine, lightweight cotton. The combination creates a translucent design which is accentuated when the light pours through.
