leather and cotton combined in a clutch





 

I mustve mentioned it over and over in my previous posts on how I like to merge materials together to create a different product with a unique look. I like to explore and work with possibilities. This time was no different, I carefully picked a few leather and upholstery Jacquard pieces and stitched them with some cotton fabrics and the result was a phenomenal take on one of the trendiest form of bags going on these days, the strapless clutches, each clutch was then carefully embellished to enhance there uniqueness by carefully adding wire worked stones and beads to finish the look. Each clutch is individually lined with a cotton fabric inside and is available for purchase at our official facebook page

Sussi the traditional weaving pattern

Back when I was a student my weaving teacher had asked us to re invent a traditional woven pattern called "Sussi" famous in interior Sindh where the threads are predominately colorful or single colored with patterns made out of white and black threads only. However as time and culture evolved so did the design and color patterns. These are my takes on it. The first colorful pattern with various material insertions is a table cloth finished with an orange handwoven lace and the second is a recently woven shawl for a customer on a similar design pattern but with a grey background. My love for creating hand product shas grown immencely.

The Floral All over Print Design

Image
Coming from a back ground of home textiles, having worked in an export factory for over two years has gotten me hooked in to creating random floral designs on Photoshop and manually just out of habit or sheer fondness of it. I must admit creativity is sometimes like an addictive flow of ideas which must be converted in to a visual format for either others to see or just for you to satisfy your self. Here are some of my design prints which I have worked in a set repeat pattern and size.
