Kalamkari:
The word Kalamkari is derived from a Persian word where 'kalam' means pen and 'kari' refers to craftsmanship. Initially Kalamkari fabrics were hand painted but today wooden carved blocks are used. Kalamkari textiles were a prized trading commodity throughout Asia and Europe for hundreds of years. This traditional art has survived among dedicated artisans in southern India who follow the age–old techniques and natural dye recipes of this painstaking process. The process can involve 23 steps each requiring precision and an eye for detailing.

Love my new dress!
Apr 10, 2024 | By Irene
I love my new Geethali dress, it is beautiful and fits perfectly (3X). I love the quality of sewing and the touches of embroidery. The dress is very light weight good for packing, traveling and summer. Love the longer sleeves, and the skirt length, dress is "as shown" in catalog. Love your company and the ideals it stands for to empower these lovely women.
