Award winning Kolkata based design studio Karomi has reinvented jamdani for a new era.
Working with several village based weaving clusters in Bengal, Karomi takes an artistic approach to design. Whilst respecting and sustaining the beauty of this traditional craft, and the skills of the village weavers, Karomi proudly brings a design driven product to a sophisticated and environmentally conscious consumer.
The studio has grown to work with other crafts such as hand-block printing and kantha embroidery.
This beautiful scarf is the perfect piece to wear at any time of year. In classic indigo, it has been handwoven in hand spun cotton and hand dyed in natural dyes by the artisans of Bengal. The highly skilled Jamdani weavers handpick and weave each warp using tiny bamboo sticks, painstakingly bringing each motif to life.
‘Kankra’, meaning crab in the local language, is a traditional Jamdani motif. The designer’s use of varied stripes complements the random placements of the 'kankra', giving an artistic and contemporary look.
