Making malkha local

Plans are afoot to source cotton from local farmers for one of the Malkha units, and also to try to start weaving there. It'll be a great step forward to get cotton fresh from the field. Introducing weaving into a non-weaving area though is not so easy, because pre-loom processes such as warping and sizing have become  specialist jobs now, and the people who do it need to service at least 20-30 looms to make it feasible.

Invitation to Malkha stall at Kolkatha exhibition

Malkha sarees for Kolkatha

This time we've sent plenty of sarees to Kolkatha, because last time we ran out. Hope this time everyone who's been waiting for a Malkha saree will get one!

Another beautiful saree

In spite of many tries, have not been able to get the colours in the image right, but this is the nearest version. This particular colour scheme is not available yet, as only one seems to have come, but we will order more in the next round.

About the indigo sarees

The Kolkatha exhibition will be the first exposure of the deep indigo sarees... depending on the response we will commission more yarn to be dyed and more sarees to be woven.

Customers please remember not to wash in detergent, and avoid rubbing if you need to remove stains of food or other things dropped on the saree.

Deep indigo saree

Deep indigo sarees recently arrived. The colours on computer screens don't convey the depth of indigo colour...
