## About Custom & Handcrafted Textile Decor

### Why I Do What I Do

I see stories in scraps. As an artist and vintage lover, I get excited by old fabrics, forgotten wood, and objects with history. My thing is turning these into custom textile decor that feels personal and full of soul.

### What We Can Make Together

- Improv quilts and sustainable handcrafted throws, stitched from scrap fabrics and inspired by traditions like Siddi Kawandi. These take time, but they're worth it.
- Table runners, bed runners, and sofa runners - reversible, made to your size and color vibe.
- Tribal patchwork cushions and pillows, with beads, tassels, and whatever details you fancy.
- Textile wall art - framed vintage embroidery, custom borders for paintings, or restoration of old family pieces like Prabhavali halos.

### How It Works

We chat, swap ideas, and figure out what you want. I work slow, so you get something that feels right for your space and your story. Doesn't matter if you're in Mumbai or somewhere else - we can make it happen.

### My Style & Materials

I mix tribal weaves, heritage-inspired home decor, and global textile traditions. You might see Banarasi silk next to Balinese Songket, or Kalamkari with Ajrakh. Everything is upcycled textile art - vintage fabrics, old jewelry, beads, coins, even salvaged wood.

### Sustainability Promise

I use waste fabric and studio offcuts, aiming for zero waste. Vintage is gold to me. Restoration is part of my process, so nothing precious gets tossed.

## Meet your expert

[Chandan Dubey](https://mytribe.in/chandandubey)

### My story

I’m a bit of a magpie, honestly. Artist, photographer, wanderer. My thing? I collect stories—old textiles from Bali, heritage bits from Hoi An, even my grandma’s Kachin weave tossed on my bed. My house is a museum of lived-in memories. I believe in surrounding myself with things that have a past, a soul. That’s why I do what I do—keeping these stories alive, not just tucked away.

### My work

- **What I Do**: Restoration art, custom hand-painted furniture, upcycled textile wall art, apparel (Nyaas), and art photography & styling.
- **Upcycled Textile Art**: I turn scraps—tribal embroidery, mirror-work—into new, slow handcrafted decor. Nothing is ever just waste.
- **Restoration & Hand-Painting**: Old trunks, wood panels, clock frames—I restore and hand-paint them, mixing in Kalamkaari or Pattachitra influences.
- **Blending Traditions**: Love mixing Balinese Ikat with Kutch embroidery or Songket with Banarasi silk. It’s cultures chatting on fabric.
- **Custom Work Together**: If you want something rooted in tradition, we’ll chat and create a unique, personal textile or decor piece.
