Just as you cross Kopai river I have to take left and ride my bicycle through the fields till I find a group of houses, a small village. Far away from the paved road, through the red dusty soil of West Bengal. It makes my heels crusty and my heart happy. Another left and the last house next to the forest is where Dablu da and his family live. I am privileged to be there and to share their food. Amit and Rohit are jumping around being lovely naughty boys. At a glance you can see they are happy children. Their grandfather is the heart of of multiple circles but these children are circles around his heart. And with his heart and hands Dablu da prepares the cloth, dyes it in his garden, surrounded by his family, with huge effort and equal pleasure.

Clothes are made by humans, people like you and me. However, the main stream fashion industry is struggling to make us forget that and not build any attachment to them. They want us to build a connection to a celebrity or an influencer, an image desired to be projected on oneself. What if we would start building a connection between the actual people involved in making and wearing the clothes.
🌱🍂
I strongly believe connection matters above all else – clothes are our companions, our trusted friends that protect and help us express. Who makes them is equally important as who wears them, and between these two ends I strive to build a strong core. Respect, friendship and fair treatment.
🤲🏾🤲🏻🤲🏼🤲🏽🤲🏿

This top was inspired by a chef uniform I borrowed from awesome . It was sampled in soft cotton dyed with indigo and cotton canvas dyed with madder. One is loose fit and the other is more tailored. What do you think?

Handmade earrings using natural fibers: grass, seeds, nutshell and twigs - these were made by a lovely young woman named Preeti. Preeti has an agreement with her husband - to finish school before having children. In order to support the household, she makes accessoires with materials her brothers forage for her. Preeti nice. This way she can finish college and become financially independent. The week I met, her she had missed the Haat (Saturday Market) due to kidney issues SO I was more than happy to get some items she had blessed.

Now I more than happy to share them with you!

PS: ever since, her health condition has improved as she got help getting informed and now is hydrating double she used to

Dablu Da is wearing a pair of fisherman pants he designed himself. He lives in a tribal village near Santiniketan, in West Bengal.
He extracted the dyestuff from roots in his garden, then dyed the canvas cloth he got from his friend with help from his family. The design he already knows, he sows the first sample himself. But he is not a tailor, nor a sewer. His other friend does that part and with what skill and mastery.

The cloth is cotton
The color is madder
The craft is human
The setting is nature
The intention is comfort
The emotion is care
The thought is sustainability
Our love is there and
Joy may it bring
