PRODUCT CARE
Each product is made by hand, using ethically sourced, pre-consumer textiles that are discarded by the industry. These textiles are unsoiled and unused because they are 'unusable' by the industry due to slight wear-and-tear and weave and pattern defects. We source natural-fibre textiles as much as we can, although due to the sheer volume of discarded fabric that is amassed, we sometimes include material blends as linings and support fabrics to our products.
CUSHIONS & TABLE-LINEN
We recommend spot-cleaning for stains and dry-cleaning if absolutely required. A simple sunning on a terrace or air-drying at home will do to preserve the textile. Do not wash and iron only on low heat.
QUILTS
Quilts should be frequently aired in the sun and spot cleaned. Store in airy muslin or cotton bags or flat on a bed if possible. Quilts must be dry-cleaned every six to eight months.

QuiltCon 2020
February 20th – 24th, 2020
Austin, Texas
United States of America
Our Apricot and Peach Quilts were selected to be displayed at this year’s edition of QuiltCon in Austin, Texas. Quiltcon is the world’s largest show for quilts and is presented by the Modern Quilt Guild, a premier organization that supports and encourages the art of modern quilting across the globe.
The Apricot and Peach Quilts were designed to help rethink our ideas of ‘waste.’ Designed from surplus and pre-consumer waste fabrics discarded by retail workshops in Chennai, both quilts were attempts in generating minimal waste in the process. Using an improvisational method of patchwork that employed small and large bands of colour, both quilts were designed to reflect a design language that is contemporary, relevant and honest. The quilts are sandwiched with cotton and quilted with horizontal lines at 1/4th inch intervals, giving the textiles a unique ribbed effect.
The Peach Quilt was awarded First Place in the Minimal Design category.
