WORKSHOP SERIES AND TRUNK SHOW

vankar shamji bhai vishram

We are incredibly delighted to share that Shamji Bhai will be joining us here in Germany this Spring 2024 for a series of workshops, lecture demonstrations and a trunk show.

India's rich tradition of hand weaving, celebrated for its unique regional patterns, thrives in the Kachchh district of Gujarat in Bhujodi village. This small weaving community is renowned for its traditional handwoven textiles and is the birthplace of Master Weaver Shamji Vankar Vishram Valji. Shamji Bhai, an accomplished artisan, actively collaborates with indigenous communities to preserve India's heritage in artisanal textile crafts.

New Collection Preview

This Dress was Painted by Hand

We are currently previewing our newest collection in store at BOTHO (Beim Nonnenhaus 7, 72070, Tübingen).

A collection of six coordinated pieces that are custom dyed, woven and stitched by hand in micro batches in fabrics that tell stories.

Our designs seek to bring the wearer comfort, freedom of movement and a chance to experience thoughtfully crafted textiles.

Natural dyes, hand painted motifs, hand embroidered details, hand carved buttons; each garment is an ode to the skill of the artisans we collaborate with.

Essence

MEMORIES OF HOME

A seed, a splash of pigment, the echo of a loom. Fabric swirls, embraces. The interplay between natural fibre, colour and texture. The magic of handmade.

WE OPENED A STORE!

We've been pretty quiet on here since last Spring. It's because we were working hard on opening a brick and mortar store.

Our entire collection is stocked there, along with an additional collection of handcrafted shawls and goods made by our artisan partners and some new artisan partners as well.

We'll be slowly updating our website because we have a new clothing collection coming, and we have a new sweater collection that's in the shop already!!.

We look forward to a new collection launch in the shop (party!!!), the grand opening of our shop (we opened without much fanfare for Christmas), and a double fashion show in May, and much much more.

indigenous cotton

kala cotton

Our exclusive Kala cotton collection has been handwoven from a unique old world Indian cotton.

Kala cotton is an indigenous rainfed cotton from the arid Kachchh region of Gujarat, India. It is farmed without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

The fabric has a breezy soft drape and slightly rustic hand, perfect for summer weather. Natural slubs give the fabric a beautiful depth of character.

Clothing That Fits

Did you know that the average dress size in Europe is a German size 42/44? That's just above the largest size most mainstream brands create.

We want natural fibre and textile lovers to have access to mindfully crafted beautiful garments that fit well.

We invested a lot into perfecting our sizing, to fit a range of body shapes and sizes.

By creating our patterns using a fit model who represents the European average in Europe, we were able to produce garments with a more realistic fit, throughout our size range.

We currently have sizes 36 through 54, and hope to add more sizes next year.
