Coromandel’s supremacy in textile craft stems not from early cotton production or cheap labor, but from the unmatched versatility and masterful skill of its craftsmen. Our mission is to preserve and perpetuate this unparalleled legacy.

Any traveler through the iconic coast and hinterlands of Coromandel will encounter numerous craft clusters practicing a wide range of arts. Investigating the reasons for this concentration leads to the nuances of European trade and the influential Vijayanagar Empire and its Chieftains, the Nayakas. These historical forces shaped Coromandel’s renowned textile industry, famed for its unmatched beauty and complexity.

Our Journey

Our journey into textiles began with a deep reverence for Indian fabrics, which ruled global markets for nearly 500 years. Coromandel’s exquisite printed and painted textiles were major contributors to this trade. Over time, many original methods were lost, sparking our passion to revive these legendary crafts.

We embarked on a mission to recreate Coromandel’s iconic textiles, beginning with five years of meticulous documentation. Through in-depth research and unwavering dedication, we uncovered the secrets of these age-old techniques. Our efforts led to the revival of textiles echoing the splendour of Coromandel.
