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.

Careful inspection happens before any fabric leave

Careful inspection happens before any fabric leaves our factory. Here, we're inspecting, and measuring the small jute pieces that are inserted manually for our JUNA pattern. The beauty is always in the irregularity as the pieces are hand cut, so they're never exact, but they're close. And that's the perfection we're going for.

Focus, stability and speed. Our Junkanoo fabric being handwoven. The only way to weave this design.
The ikat design in the stripe is first screen printed onto the warp. Each stripe color is hand dyed and then sundried.
Once all the yarn is prepared it takes a week to set up the loom and tie the warp threads. There is over 4000 threads that are meticulously counted and tied by hand.
Sit with that for a minute. We do, every day.

JUNA. The hand inserted jute pieces are iconic to the Malabar catalogue. We experimented with this technique more than 10 years ago, reimagining it in different designs. It takes a lot of work and highly trained and skilled artists to create this.
Not your average fabric.

Happy Monday. Do you know how your fabric is made?
We think about that question a lot. We're not in the business of fast home fashion or instant gratification. That's not our game.
