Traveling around the world to discover new fabrics, embroideries and garments is one of our greatest passions, and on those trips we always discover authentic treasures made entirely by hand, whether in markets, in small towns far from the city or even in stalls that we find. at the foot of the road when we drive with the caravan.
Pieces that we have discovered in countries like India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand... with incalculable value not only for their craftsmanship, but also for their difficulty in finding them, since, currently, this type of embroidery and work techniques It is no longer commonly practiced.
small mirrors placed throughout the dress and a combination of embroidery with a lot of color, which gives them a very different charm and beauty.
Another of our most special pieces are these jackets worn by Goldie and Carlota. On the one hand, Goldie's handcrafted piece in bluish tones has several metal ornaments and shells placed one by one, which demonstrates the great work that is hidden behind this kind of warrior-style caftan.
On the other hand, the jacket in greenish tones -which is also available in blue- by Carlota is a very oversize garment, with a wide pattern that allows it to be worn over a coat, a dress with boots or even combined with a look sportier for day to day. In this piece, what stands out is, without a doubt, the number of tribal figures with embroideries made with threads of various colors. Authentic museum pieces that we cannot miss and that fascinate us because it is very, very difficult to find them in good condition!
These dresses from Afghanistan, one short in maroon and two long in fuchsia and blue, are other treasures that we discovered on our trip. Light, very comfortable and with a very nice flare, as well as being made of cotton and with an embroidery on the front that also has little mirrors.
Finally, we could not finish this blog without showing you one of our latest acquisitions. This unique skirt, because we only have one, made with hemp, hand-painted with natural dyes. We found her in the north of Thailand, in Chiang Mai, and we completely fell in love with her work!
