The Dune Collection
Sheep Wool · Grassland Ecology
Kutch District · 100–500m · Semi-arid grasslands
Hot days, cool nights, and dry sandy-loam soil produce wool with characteristic texture. A resilient fibre that endures temperature swings on the grassland translates into textiles built for daily use.
What it's made from
Wool from Patanwadi sheep, a Gujarat breed. Handspun, handwoven and left undyed, so the colours are the fleece's own. Throw pillows are made up in Ontario.
In the collection
Throws, throw pillows, and table runners in undyed wool.

The Deccan Collection
Post-Industrial Cotton · Circular Economy
Bengaluru · 920m · Deccan Plateau
Garment factory textile waste transformed into kitchen cloth by a generations-old weaving ecosystem in Karnataka. When cotton is too irregular for machines, human expertise becomes essential.
What it's made from
Post-industrial cotton: manufacturing offcuts collected in India. Machine-spun yarn handwoven in Weavers Colony, Bengaluru.
In the collection
Kitchen towels, cook's aprons, the bread bag.
