Colorful Summer Fashion

POTPURRI Shoin-jinja

Stories in cloth from India, and handwork from Laos

Hand-block printing is a traditional Indian technique. Skilled craftspeople build up the textiles one impression at a time, with variations in the ink, edges and depth of color that give each piece its individual warmth.
The selection featured these fabrics in summer colors and designs.

In parts of Laos, handweaving remains closely connected with daily life. Markets offer locally spun yarn, and looms can be found beneath raised houses or under the eaves, where textiles are woven by hand.

Markets and towns also offer finished textiles, with intricate patterns that reveal the skill possible on a simple loom.

The selection included bags, pouches and embroidered coasters.
Chosen with care, and with a wish to help these hand skills continue.
