Kora Loom

Handwoven in five Indian clusters

Cloth you can trace to one loom.

We buy directly from weavers in Pochampally, Chanderi, Kanchipuram, Bhagalpur and Kutch. Every piece carries the weaver’s name, the village and the days it spent on the loom.

On the loom now: Pochampally diamond, double ikat · laying the warp

In the room

A double-ikat throw, nine days in the making.

Natural indigo, madder and pomegranate yellow on 60s cotton. Heavy enough for a December night in Bengaluru, light enough to leave folded over a daybed all year.

The dye yard

Colour from roots, rind and leaf.

Most of our pieces are dyed with plants. Where a weaver uses a synthetic dye, the product page says so, and it is always azo-free.

  • Indigo. Fermented vat, built over three weeks. Every blue on the site.
  • Madder root. Manjistha, with an alum mordant. Our reds and rusts.
  • Pomegranate rind. Yellows, and with iron, soft greys.
  • Undyed. Kala cotton, khadi and tussar, left the colour they grew.
