A FILM BY DIMOHE
Spend a moment with the people, places, and handwork behind the collection.
Rajasthan
A carved wooden block is dipped in colour and pressed onto the cloth. The printer repeats the impression to build the pattern. Look closely at Gulnaar’s flowers: small changes in colour and placement are part of block printing by hand.
Lucknow
Chikankari is a hand embroidery tradition from Lucknow, India. Artisans use a needle and thread to stitch delicate flowers and vines into the cloth. On Noor Bagh, fine stitches form vines and flowers across the raw silk. The ivory and gold-toned threads make the needlework easy to see against the beige fabric.
Decorative hand embroidery
Zardozi is a hand embroidery technique with ornate, raised stitching. Desert Pearl pairs this detailing with raw silk and a tasselled drawstring. The same technique appears on several of our statement bags and children’s occasion sets.
Ritual by ritual
Rooted in Indian traditions of everyday care, this collection brings together hair oils, shampoo, masks and body care. Take a little time to oil your hair before washing, or work a body oil into your routine. Explore the ingredients and directions on each product to find what fits your day.

A pattern is drawn before the needlework begins. Watch the drawing and stitching up close.
