Testimonial

"It was one of life's most wonderful coincidences when I heard about Pavitra through a relative of mine. I thought furnishing an entire new house would be chaotic and a headache to execute, but working with Pavitra made it not only easy as a breeze but exciting as well. Not many designers would take a client's personal taste into consideration when planning a space, luckily I ended up with someone who does. I've met many interior designers but Pavitra's name always comes first to mind when friends or family ask me for a recommendation."

Ikat and Suzani’s have gained a lot of popularity in recent times,  with designers finding different ways to showcase these fabrics. Ikats are a traditional method of dying fabrics whereas Suzani is a embroidered fabric with traditional tribal designs. Their origin is mainly around Central Asia. The Ikats and Suzani’s I was introduced to have been produced in the villages of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is a beautiful country , it’s history and culture reflects in these textiles, arts and crafts. The ateliers are in family homes where there are 2 to 3 looms.
