Worked entirely by hand across its full surface, rows of kantha running stitch bind two layers together in the ancient tradition of the craft - each line placed by a single artisan, each pass of thread unrepeatable. The front is a single length of upcycled underprint cotton in pale sky blue, its surface alive with large organic circles in deep burgundy-wine - the ghost of countless woodblock printings laid down before it on the tables of Jaipur. Dusty rose, navy, sage and pale yellow drift beneath the surface in layered botanical and geometric traces, each one unrepeatable. The overall effect is painterly and abstract - clusters of form that shift with the light, entirely one of a kind.

The reverse is Blue Iris - a deep, inky blue-grey - in a 45% cotton / 55% linen blend, its smooth face a quiet counterpoint to the layered depth of the front. The kantha stitch reads clearly on both sides, a mark of the hand that made it.
