Journal & Instagram
From our stories & feeds
Notes from the studio on fabric, craft and the way we make, plus what we are sharing on Instagram.
The philosophy
One string, played with intention
The iktara is a folk instrument with a single string: no chords to hide behind. Every note has to be deliberate, and so does every piece.
The fabric
One fabric, one silhouette, one purpose
Each piece starts from a single fabric and is refined until nothing more needs to be added, and nothing can be taken away.
The collection
No seasonal drops, just a running collection
Why we add new pieces one at a time, as they are finished, instead of chasing a season.
