Interview with Susie Watson.
Our little factory in Karur lies in the heart of the cotton weaving area in Southern India. It is from here that some of the finest cotton in the world is produced. It is run by Mr Ravi and his delightful family whom I have been working with for many years.
Only the best cotton will be sent for weaving and every batch of yarn will be dyed with the utmost care. The amazingly skilful team care passionately about all the beautiful products they make for us. How very lucky we are.
For the past year I have been working in Rajasthan with him to create an exciting new range of designs for hand block printing on linen. The designs we have created are totally unique and I am thrilled with the final results and really grateful to the talented people who worked so hard to perfect them.
Block printing is a remarkable way of creating pattern, and quite unique to this area of India. Each block is intricately carved by hand from wood, exactly to our original artwork, often starting as a simple sketch.
Our fabrics are made by humans not machines, small variations are part of the handmade charm and should not be considered a fault but a reflection of their uniqueness.
All of our fabrics are
