Sometimes we think that cloth is the best for ... well almost everything. These bags are no exception. Embellished with running stitch, patterned with embroidery, enclosed by a drawstring, or augmented by leather details. Cloth bags from Maiwa.

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.

BHUJODI SHAWLS
Drape a masterpiece over your shoulder.
When people ask us about the most spectacular handweave being done today, we think of a few places in India. One of the groups that top that list is the Vankar family of Bhujodi.

HANDWOVEN, NATURALLY DYED YARDAGE
FROM BENGAL
We've spent years developing this handwoven fabric. We encouraged the famously talented Bengal weavers to return to natural dyes. They accepted the challenge - combining dyeing skills with their hereditary talents in transforming thread into cloth.

SHAPED RESIST - TEXTURED CLOTH
These Bandhani masterworks have an incredible texture. The result of thousands of knots tied on the cloth before it is dyed. After dyeing, the cloth retains a memory of the resist thread - it takes on a sculptural form unlike anything else.
