The Makers
Beautifully-stitched by Waseem from New Delhi in India, this technique involves manually navigating a pen-like needle to create stunning patterns. Needlework has existed in India since 2000 BC – the method has been adapted and passed down many generations. However, artisans specialising in this craft are rapidly being replaced by the increase of machine-made alternatives.
The Material
India’s duet with the cotton industry dates back over 4,500 years ago. Overtime Indian artisans and traders have refined their skills and have since been one of the biggest producers of cotton - so much so that in ancient Greece and Babylon, ’India’ was used as an abbreviation for ‘cotton’.

This style is made by stitching acrylic thread onto chambray cotton which is known for its soft and breathable qualities.
