Sindhu and I haven’t stopped talking about this craft since she moved into the shop! It’s so much more than just a stitch, and there’s a lot we wish for people to know 🤍

Meet the hands behind Fifth Origins. 🤍

Sindhu started @fifthorigins with a simple belief - that craft shouldn’t be extracted from the communities that hold it, it should be built with them. She works directly with artisan clusters across India, making sure the people behind the stitch are as much a part of the story as the piece itself 🤍

Join us as she presents her collection of Kantha jackets and shares the story behind the craft 🪡

Some exciting news 🤍 Starting Oct 1, I’m teaming up with Sindhu of @fifthorigins for a 3-month pop-up at @indikonstories

Collaborating with women who pour this much care into craft and community is exactly why I started this journey in the first place 🤍

Super excited to welcome @fifthorigins into the Indikon store for a pop-up, starting October 1st🙌🏽

Founded by Sindhu and based in Amsterdam, Fifth Origins works directly with craft communities across India, designing pieces that carry real stories, real hands and real heritage!

To kick things off, we’re hosting a launch event with an evening dedicated to Kantha - a craft too often reduced to just a stitch. Join us as we trace it back to Bengal, talk through its history and the myths that surround it today. Think food, drinks, conversation and a first look at the collection 🤍🤍

This summer has been about long tables 🌿

Long meals that stretch into the evening. Conversations that go wherever they go. The kind of gatherings where no one quite remembers who suggested staying for one more glass 🍷

We loved that Indikon was part of so many of these tables this summer, in gardens, in courtyards, by the sea. A block-printed tablecloth doesn’t just dress a table. It starts a conversation. Someone always asks about the pattern. And then the story begins.

That’s exactly why we continue to do what we do 🫶🏽

All our table linens are available in the webshop. Link in bio 👆🏽

Sounds of Greece. 🏺🌊

I’m writing this from Greece, where the sea moves the same way it always has, and the patterns on ancient pots feel as alive as ever 🙌🏽

Illustrations by the wonderful @serenavalguarnera and animated by @byniharikavig. Two artists who understood instinctively what Greece feels like to me 🤍

Greece is one half of what Indikon is 🫶🏽

To me, Greece has always spoken in pattern 🏛️🏺

Walking through its ancient sites, you can find it literally every where on the little stone houses, on its rooftops and underfoot.

What I was extremely taken by this time was the floor art the peacocks by a fountain, flowers pressed into stone, waves repeating for thousands of year. Every mosaic is a room someone lived in, a floor countless people have crossed. This shared heritage is so humbling.

Greece, through its floor art. Stone by stone. 🫶🏽

Perfected over centuries. Passed from hand to hand. 🫶🏽

Every craft we carry at the Indikon shop was not invented by one single person but built over time, by an entire community. Refined by a grandmother, adjusted by her daughter, perfected by hers.

That continuity is what makes these crafts extraordinary. And worth carrying forward.

The pomegranate, the column, the pot. Symbols that appear in India and in Greece — sometimes centuries apart, always for the same reason. To mark what matters. Craft. Culture. Community.

This month I’ll be sharing the stories behind Indikon — the traditions, the symbols, the people. Consider it a slow season of storytelling. 🏺

We’re back in September.
