We are featuring a rare offering of Dr. Ismail Khatri’s recent collection of traditional ajrakh textiles. For this collection, he has returned to the beginning of ajrakh and used only the original patterns and dyes used by his forbearers nine generations back. Many are double sided — an extraordinary feat in itself.

Tim passed away suddenly November 1, 2023. All of us at Maiwa have been left overwhelmed by the loss. We lived amongst Tim’s creative life. He mentored us. He inspired us. He helped us grow.

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.

While handweavers know that cloth is like architecture, dyers see cloth as a palette, a canvas. Bring these two artisan groups together and the creative possibilities are endless.

REMAKING WITH THREAD
Mend what is torn and in the process you make it a bit better, and you add a little of yourself into the cloth. Embellish with a stitch that tells of who you are, how you care, and what you can do.

CARRY SOMETHING SPECIAL
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.

We've spent years developing this handwoven fabric. We encouraged a small group of 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.

We use natural dyes extensively in our own production. This is the best way to know how a dye behaves and see the changes that happen from harvest to harvest. Because we use the same dyes we sell, we can ensure that each package contains the best available dyestuff.
