Women are FUNdamental - Edition 2
ba&sh invites you to India to discover the ancestral know-how of the Khanta handmade embroidery made by women, in the Delhi region.
The Women are FUNdamental capsule unveils exclusive pieces with ultra-colorful vibrations.
India has always inspired ba&sh. Its colors, landscapes and lights are the inspiration for many collections.
The second edition of the Women are FUNdamental capsule collection celebrates the women and textile skills of the land of a thousand colors.
A celebration of women's crafts in India
Curved jackets, long flowing dresses, shorts, and sleeveless quilted cardigans highlight Khanta quilting - an ancestral embroidery technique - handmade by Indian embroiderers. Handed down from generation to generation by women, this know-how is a cultural treasure as much as a means of emancipation and financial independence for embroiderers in rural areas. On the T-shirt, the hand-embroidered inscription "Women are FUNdamental" is a mantra addressed to all women around the world, as much as a tribute to Indian craftsmanship.
For this limited-edition capsule collection, the "Mandala" print was developed exclusively for the brand. Jade, green, purple and fuchsia merge their energy in this meticulous pattern, inspired by block printing, a traditional Rajasthani craft.
Made from organically grown cotton, the capsule pieces express joyful, colorful vibrations.
