I love bringing the stories of Kalamkari and Ikat to life by turning these beautiful, GI-tagged fabrics into wearable art. Each piece here is a unique, slow-made story stitched together for you.

The beauty of Kalamkari cloth is that it needs no extra embellishment. For this pendant, I simply cut and glued a piece of the beautiful hand-painted fabric, letting the traditional art speak for itself.

This pendant features a beautiful piece of Ikat fabric, known for its distinctive blurred patterns. I've paired it with a simple cord adorned with small metal coins to complement its tribal aesthetic.

For all the Kalamkari lovers, here are some simple and elegant fabric pendants. These lightweight "neck-tags" are an easy way to add a touch of traditional Telugu art to your everyday look.

About Textiles Reimagined: Fabric & Thread Jewellery

These pieces aren't just fabric glued to a base. I hand-pick GI-tagged Kalamkari and Ikat textiles, carefully treating them to resist dust while preserving the texture. Every pendant is finished with a protective varnish and small details like ghungroo bells, making them durable enough for daily wear yet unique enough for a festive occasion.

I started this journey 11 years ago, guided by a love for traditions and a desire to make art you can wear. Whether it's a piece of hand-painted Kalamkari or a vibrant Ikat pattern, I love creating jewellery that feels like a conversation piece. For me, handmade isn't just a product; it’s a story I get to share with you.
