A dialogue between cultures. I transform salvaged Kutch embroidery, Balinese Ikat, and Banarasi silk into one-of-a-kind home accents that carry their own histories.

About Global-Tribal Runners & Throws

Because these pieces rely on salvaged vintage textiles, such as specific Banjara patches or rare Balinese weaves, every runner and throw is physically impossible to duplicate. We can replicate the general vibe and colour palette, but the exact patchwork placement and embroidery will always be a unique improvisation based on the materials currently in my studio.
