Ecru.
This organic cotton has a fine twill with a soft sanded finish on one side. It would be ideal for trousers, dungarees and dresses that require some structure ie not a gathered waist, as well as lighter weight jackets and bag linings. It has a utility look and feel to it.
Please note that this is a new quality from a different mill, so if you’ve received a sample or purchased previously it will be slightly different – softer, with more pile.

Tooley Ikat Indian Cotton
$42.00A black and caramel large scale cotton ikat.
Suitable for dresses, tops, and shirts.
Ikat is a resist dyeing technique where the threads used for weaving are dyed beforehand. The Ikat threads are bound in a pattern so that the threads covered by the binding ‘resist’ the dye, creating a design. The more binding done before weaving, the more complicated the pattern.
Traditional techniques are used to make this wonderful rural cloth. Indian cloths are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.

Papercut Indian Cotton
$32.00A striking Bagru block print in black and a warm stone shade.
Bagru, a small village in Rajasthan, 35 kilometres from Jaipur, is known for its hand block printing utilising traditional processes and natural colours. Bagru prints tend to be more simple with limited colours in comparison to Sanganer block prints which are more colourful with finer detail. Block printing is still practiced by the Chippa community, who have lived here for over 400 years.
Papercut is suitable for tops, loose fitting trousers and shorts, and dresses and skirts with fullness.
