Locally, the word gindi often refers to a ralli quilt itself, but I keep returning to the question: is gindi a regional variation of ginti (counting), reflecting the counted nature of the stitch, or simply a vernacular term for the same craft? I’ve updated the blog post with some new thoughts.

We are very pleased to share that we have stocked a small collection of hand-woven khadi and Ajrak fabrics on our website.

We had so much fun creating beautiful scarves with natural dyes with a wonderful group and later embellishing them with Kantha stitching in Barcelona today. Sharing some snippets of the event here.

I have always wondered how such rich and vibrant colors were achieved historically on textiles. The answer lies in the amazing world of plant dyeing.
