Historic Materials
Muslin (Mulmul)
As a very fine cotton, muslin (called mulmul in India) used to be a prized import from India during British rule. Coming from handspun cotton, which is an artisan-focused industry in its own right, it is a thin, breathable, almost weightless fabric that gets softer with each machine wash and tumble dry. Our artisans weave the threads in a “plain weave” technique that is both incredibly soft, yet sturdy enough for long-lasting wear.

Historic Techniques
Handloom
From plant to thread to garment, handlooming is the exact opposite of fast fashion. The centuries-old technique of creating fabric on a handloom is extremely labor intensive. First, our artisans spin the raw plant material into threads using their hands. Those threads are counted out while a warp is prepared, filling yarns for weaving, and each warp end is individually threaded into the loom before the weaving process even begins. We love the handloom technique because of its quality and feel, as well as the fact that, next to agriculture, it’s the second-most important industry in India.
