Testimonials

'

My love for textiles began when I was in my late teens and on a block printing course in Jaipur. I loved watching the prints come to life, from a wooden block, chiselled by hand, and dipped in vibrant colours.I have always been inspired by traditional block print and the mesmerising repeating motifs from vintage 70's and 80's Indian clothing. I really wanted to recreate and follow this craftmanship, after selling vintage, second-hand, and up-cycled clothing for many years.

I fell in love with the crazy hustle and bustle of India right away. It felt like home. With my Moroccan heritage, the similarities of busy markets, souks, outdoor eating, sunshine, vibrant spices, colours, bartering, all felt wonderful and nourishing for my soul.

I met two incredible teams in Jaipur and Noida who are brilliant at what they do, and have so much patience with me, and are passionate about their work!

A tell-tale reminder of the wonderful connection between the clothes that you wear and the hands that made them.
