Thread, cloth and the women who stitch them
Dupattas, suits and baghs in the light they were made in: courtyards, verandas and winter afternoons in the villages around Amritsar.
Two hundred and sixty women, each with her own hand.
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.
