Kerala is the first to receive the heaviest rainfa

Kerala is the first to receive the heaviest rainfall. It’s a big factor in obtaining the most vibrant colors in our fabrics.
Our story starts here in a tropical, remote area off the ancient Malabar coastline butted up against the Arabian Sea.
Our relationship with colors and textures is rooted in Kerala.

KELSO. A well balanced, sophisticated cotton Madras plaid/check.
The Madras check is common throughout South India.
Originally worn as lungis (essentially a sarong) by south Indian field workers before the 1200's. The lungis then were made from handwoven cotton muslin and the madras check hand block printed to add a pop of color.
It was the colonising Dutch who would begin the export & mass production of Madras checks, followed by the British.
Today, this design still influences fashion and interior design houses today.

✔️100% handwoven cotton
✔️Designed in house
✔️good for upholstery & drapery.
