During the pandemic, we found ourselves drawn to crafts that live almost in silence now—practiced by only a handful of women across India.

Bobbin lace was one of them.
The artisan would begin at first light. Every morning she sent us short videos of her progress: the slow rhythm of pins and threads, the lace growing almost imperceptibly under her hands. It took her nearly a month to finish a single panel for a skirt.

There was something deeply moving about that quiet exchange—watching a rare skill unfold day by day, across distance, with such patience and care.

Some collaborations don’t need many words. Just presence, time, and respect for the hands that still know how.

A walk down the memory lane to look at our Carrickmacross lace archives.

Carrickmacross lace making started around 1820 in an English town of Carrickmacross as vital rural craft to support families through difficult times. With the turns and twists of time and history this technique reached India during the imperial rule and is still preserved by a handful of Indian women.

This month we explore the most trending material of the past few seasons: RAFFIA.

We've been looking into the material’s quiet history, the way makers across cultures have always recognized its potential, and the inventive ways it’s being reimagined right now—sometimes woven, sometimes embroidered, sometimes almost treated like a textile in its own right. We share what we have found.

In this month’s newsletter, we explore the art of resist dyeing techniques- ancient methods of intentional protection and revelation, which trace deep roots across continents, from India’s bandhani and kalamkari traditions to Japan’s shibori, West Africa’s adire, and Europe’s later adaptations via trade routes. These methods transform plain surfaces into canvases rich with pattern, texture, and symbolic meaning.and continue to shape modern luxury.

Tie Dye Traditions Tory Burch x Marasim collaboration 
Tie-dye, drawing from bandhani and shibori influences, entails binding, folding, twisting, or stitching fabric before immersion.
The Fabric is dipped in a dye bath, the ties acting as barriers to pe*******on. Upon removal of ties, white or lighter patterns emerge. Each knot and fold responds uniquely to the bath, yielding soft gradients and unexpected depth — playful yet profoundly sophisticated.
