Hey guys, here’s my September dump — a month of work, travel, family and a little bit of everything in between. ❤️

Started the month in Bangalore with a beautiful talk show around Modern Heirloom Adaptation, along with a preview of UNCUT & UBAA. Then came a lovely UNCUT event in Baroda, followed by my son’s 14th birthday celebration and a quick trip to the US.

Then came a beautiful UNCUT Festive shoot through the old pols of Ahmedabad, capturing the city’s soul and heritage — the inspiration behind The Passage, our new UNCUT Festive collection.

And finally, Singapore — a successful show, some much-needed sister time, and a quick UBAA founder shoot against the beautiful skyline and waterfront.

The Magnolia Saree

Mawsshh or morpuf as Magnolia nilagirica is known in Toda, belongs to the shola forests of the Nilgiris. Its fragrant white flowers appear against the deep green canopy, sometimes visible from quite a distance. The species is native to these high-elevation forests of the Western Ghats and is considered vulnerable.

For the Toda community, the flowering of the magnolia has also carried another meaning. In conversations about traditional knowledge of weather and season, we learnt that elders once looked to mawsshh as an indicator of the South-West monsoon drawing to a close.

On recent journeys through Toda lands, we had the joy of encountering these flowers in bloom again.

For this saree, we brought the flower onto linen through hand block printing, alongside Toda embroidery worked by women from our artisan collective. As with the Kurinji saree, the embroidery is used with restraint, leaving parts of the cloth open and allowing the botanical form and the geometry of the stitch to sit alongside one another.

Part of our Nilgiri Flora collection, developed from years of looking closely at the plants that belong to these mountains.

The Kurinji (Strobilanthes kunthiana) belongs to the high grasslands of the Western Ghats, flowering only once in twelve years and, in season, washing entire slopes in blue-violet.

For this saree, we brought the flower onto linen through hand block printing, placing it alongside Toda embroidery worked by the women of our artisan collective in the Nilgiris.

What interested us was the meeting of two very different languages on cloth. The fluidity and delicacy of the botanical form, and the remarkable precision of Toda embroidery, counted directly onto the fabric without a drawn pattern or guide.

The embroidery appears sparingly across the saree and along its edge, leaving parts of the saree clear. We wanted to resist filling every surface. The linen, the flower and the embroidery each have room to hold their own.

From our Nilgiri Flora series, it is a textile that began with looking closely at what grows around us, and and at how a landscape finds its way into cloth.
