From the villages
Our makers work from home in 14 villages around Amritsar, in groups of 15 to 25. We bring the khaddar and silk to them each month, pay by the piece agreed in advance, and stitch each woman’s name on the tag.
Shop a ready piece, or ask for a bagh made to order.
Ready pieces ship the same day; orders take 10–14 weeks.
Packed in muslin, insured, in 4 days across India.

Choose the khaddar, the silk and the pattern; a group in one village works it over 10 to 14 weeks. We send photos as it grows.

I liked seeing the name Balwinder Kaur, Rayya, on the tag of my cushion covers. It made them feel like a gift.

The silk floss is dyed in Amritsar and colour-fast in cold water. Wash it alone the first time, by hand, and dry it in the shade.
10 to 14 weeks, depending on size and density. We ask for half when the cloth goes to the village and send photos every fortnight.
