Striped patchwork of cottons | Stole
This is a double sided stole.
I have brought an intentional contrast with bold usage of colours in the stripe-patterned patchwork set in harmony through apparent monotones.
To make striped patchwork, the stitching craftsmen must assume single mind focus. Out tailor, Gurmel Singh blocks out all other distractions and carefully engages in picking each tiniest piece of fabric and aligning into the desired geometry. He then engages with it through cutting, ironing, aligning, joining, recutting, ironing, aligning, joining each box to construct new stripes. Over few days of meticulously joining each of these tiny scraps, a striped form of patches takes shape.
Aria is one of a kind textile designed to highlight a unique coming together of various techniques and creativity of handcraft. This design will not be recreated.
