Award winning Kolkata based design studio Karomi has reinvented jamdani for a new era. The studio has grown to work with other crafts such as hand-block printing and kantha embroidery.
Working with several village based weaving clusters in Bengal, Karomi takes an artistic approach to design. Whilst respecting and sustaining the beauty of traditional crafts, and the skills of the village weavers, Karomi proudly brings a design driven product to a sophisticated and environmentally conscious consumer.
Whilst Bengal is not known for blockprinting, this art has been practiced in the town of Serampore near Kolkata since the 1940s, when it was introduced from Gujarat and Rajasthan. The local artisans have made the art their own, with an unconventional approach that resonates with Karomi's modern designs.
This beautiful scarf is blockprinted on pure handwoven silk (which has a lovely soft handle!), and features a striking multi toned spot design with striped borders.
