MANTHAN

Our collection takes its inspiration from water, its ever-changing and paradoxical nature – turbulent yet calm, shapeless yet shape shifting, flowing yet restrained. The depths of it are layered with life and energy and yet invisible to the eye on the surface, much like us humans and the reality of our existence. From time immemorial, civilisations and stories have come to life and perished around water yet it never ceases to eb and flow, signifying its unrelenting movement and resilience despite turmoil.

Our clothing and its surfaces represent the many layers of water, both tangible and intangible; hand-dyed using KB cols Sciences’ microbial fermentation technology using non-GMO naturally occurring coloured microbes to achieve our colour palette. Our pieces made in cotton of differing weights are appliqued, embroidered and pleated to bring to life our inspiration.
