STORY OF JOURNEYS

Injiri, meaning “real India”, historically stands for “real Madras checkered textiles” which were exported to West Africa back in the 18th century.

Injiri clothing is inspired by traditional garment designs of India. Working from her studio in Jaipur, Chinar Farooqui has developed a network of hand-loom collectives across India, from Gujarat to West Bengal who work with organic cottons and natural dyes to produce a range of exquisite handmade textiles to achieve textures and patterns that tells a story of the place they originate from – the story is finally told in form of a piece of “injiri”.

Jamdani is considered one of the most expensive fabrics in the world because it is finely hand-woven. Jamdani artisans are able to create very realistic designs that look almost like a real flower, something you could only achieve with embroidery.
