The Atelier
Before the cloth is cut, every Tribals Corner look is painted by hand and annotated down to the last border — the fabric, the technique, the weight of the gota. These are those plates.
Made to orderEach look is cut to your fabric, colour and measurements — so it begins with a conversation, not a cart.
How we design
Nothing goes to the workshop as a description. Each look is painted, given a name, and marked up panel by panel — this cloth here, that border there, these mirrors set this close.
The annotations are instructions. They tell a karigar in Kutch which weight of gajji silk to cut, where the Kutchi embroidery stops and the mirror work begins, and exactly how broad the gota band at the hem should sit.
We publish them because the vocabulary is worth knowing. Gamthi, Bagru, mukaish, latkan — these are not decorative words. They are the difference between a print and a block print, between shine laid on cloth and shine woven into it.
Fifteen Plates
Every look begins here — painted, named, and annotated down to the last border before a single metre of cloth is cut.
The Language of Craft
Every annotation on these plates names a technique or a cloth. Choose one to see only the looks that carry it.
