CURATOR'S NOTE

Decolonizing the blouse, this choli is made entirely by hand in reclaimed khadi yarns, dyed in natural indigo and handwoven into twill, creating a denim fabric. The pattern for the choli comes from the traditional Indian choli from Bhuj. The top features back buttons and is designed to instill a spirit of investigation into our bodies, our hearts and our psyche to find our one true home - our sanctuary - within and without.

THE DESIGNER STORY

We started with the aim to reduce and reuse waste produced by our parent company Shivam International- a company that manufactures garments and exports them. And in the process of upcycling what we receive from the company, we utilize crafts that are indigenous to India. We started with our focus on handloom weaving, specifically on rag rug weaving. We enjoy perceiving crafts that would be considered lowbrowby larger populous through the lens of quality and design. This for us is an act of rebellion against conventional luxury normsa fact that amuses us on this zero waste journey. Introducing and inculcating quality and design within a traditional craft also allows the craftspeople to fetch a fair wage and not just a minimum wage.
