It is that which is born of the mind, enters through the senses, and is called to action by memory. It is that which is beautiful and charming and kindles passions that madden and cannot be controlled. Kama is a celebration of certain artisanal workmanships common to the textile tradition of India. The techniques are the same as they’ve always been, like the use of hand carved wooden blocks to imprint designs, on fabrics woven by hand, and the use of plant based dyes. The desire to delve into the world of textile has brought together some of the finest exponents of the craft. Men and women who take themselves to be mere artisans, but have long ascended to the landscapes of art. This is good for all those of us that can find beauty in the articles thus produced. And just to be sure, they have been stitched with love, taking a little more time, and with the intention of seeking pleasure in their creation. You can find us in Jodhpur, known also as the Blue City, or Sun City, in western Rajasthan, India. You are welcome to come visit, and take in the entire process of production, from block making to dyeing, printing, and stitching. May you find the same pleasure in our clothing as we’ve experienced in making them for you.
