A Visit to our Kala Cotton Weavers
Whilst I hold the fort in the fog in London, Graham is currently in sunny India visiting our amazing textile artisans in the remote Kutch (or Kachchh) region, west of Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
These regular visits are vital for us to keep in close contact with our suppliers, and build the relationships that mean we can bring more amazing, hand made textiles to you!
Here, I thought I'd share some images Graham has taken of his visit to our kala cotton weavers, who make our Organic Kala Cotton Towels, Scarves and Indigo Kala Cotton Cushions.
Enjoy!
