Indigo Boxy Kimono

Description

Jamadani weave is an art, the highlight of this textile are its rich motifs, which are all intricately added by hand. Jamdani is considered the most advanced hand weaving technique in the world. Each motif has to be inlaid into the fabric by adding denser threads to fine warp threads by hand. This requires skill and precision.  It involves a community of artisans, often a family of weavers, dyers and spinners coordinating with each other.

For our cotton jamdani line we have partnered with Karomi, based in Kolkata, India. Founded by the sister duo, Sarita Ganeriwala and Sarika Ginodia, their design is best described as a movement of elements translated to textile and brought to life through the collective effort of nearly 200 weavers.

Every piece begins as an idea on the drawing table. The idea is allowed to grow with artistic freedom, explored in several colors, patterns and combinations. It is then graphed out as a design for the weavers to weave in Jamdani.
