Limited Edition Handmade Clothing
&
World Heritage Textiles.
Fayakun is a space for everything rare, well travelled & created with utmost presence.
Either by the skilled craftsmen or women, or by the generations that have already passed.
Our fascination for the tactile beauty is surpassed only by our love of people & their stories, or our hunger to experience places & communities that dwell in artistic integrity, tucked away in breathtaking landscapes.
Here, we bring forth the stories & crafts of real people who create artistic treasures, whom I meet & collaborate with, on my wandering abouts in search of gorgeous textiles.
About me
Not all those who wander are lost.
- Tolkein
I grew up in a north Indian village among strong, self assertive old women, flat green fields & many inspiring stories.
Now, I try to play with my love of travel, design and textiles to create tangible stories that support rural women in gaining financial freedom.
I co-create textiles, collect & design one of a kind clothing & rugs or refashion, recycle, patchwork existing pieces.
Perhaps it is both, a nostalgia for that simple yet meaningful connection with people as well as the pain of growing up in a ruthlessly patriarchal society that vaguely leads me to do what I do.
