The Soul of Kalamkari Natural Dyes and Ancient Motifs
An authentic Kalamkari dupatta is a labor intensive creation that involves multiple stages of washing, treating, and painting the fabric.
- Organic Earthy Palette
Our collection uses dyes derived entirely from nature. The deep reds are sourced from madder root, the rich blacks from fermented iron, and the vibrant yellows from pomegranate peels. These organic colors age beautifully and have a distinct earthy aroma that is the hallmark of genuine Kalamkari. - Signature Storytelling Motifs
Each piece features the classic Kalamkari repertoire. From the sprawling Tree of Life and blooming floral vines to majestic peacocks and scenes from ancient folklore, these hand painted details make every dupatta a unique work of art. - Artisan Fabric Bases
We choose high quality bases like Tussar Silk and Mangalgiri Cotton. These natural fibers absorb the vegetable dyes perfectly, resulting in a rich and saturated finish that highlights the fine lines of the pen work.
Care Tip
Kalamkari uses natural vegetable dyes which may bleed slightly during the first few washes. We strictly recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the vibrancy of the hand painted artwork and the strength of the fabric.
