Product Info

This garment is entirely made by hand from weaving and dyeing to the last trims and finishes: it passes through the hands of craftspeople from various parts of India utilizing traditional skills and techniques that differ from region to region.

100% Hand loomed cotton.

Karchobi embroidery is hand stitched and fashioned with a needle that resembles a very small crochet hook which is used to run up and down through the cloth while the cloth is being pulled tightly over a large wooden frame called an Adda. With one hand the craftsman holds the retaining thread below the fabric. In the other, she holds a hook or a needle with which the artisan picks up the Karchobi embroidery material, then she passed the needle through the fabric.

Sizing

Three sizes: baby, one and two year old.

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.

Launched in 2009 as a clothing brand by Chinar Farooqui, Injiri believes in the beauty of hand-weaving processes. Injiri as a brand is more about story-telling, the end point is reflective of the journey of many processes. We make clothing for women and textiles for home. The brand focus is on textile development and sustainable usage of materials.

Curating an aesthetic around absolute simplicity and working within the limitations of textile techniques, Injiri is featured and placed in several stores all over the globe. Celebrating the living tradition of crafts in India, the brand has found resonance with aesthetes across the world. One of the brand’s many achievements came as the prestigious EDIDA Award for interior textiles in the year of 2016.
