SPOTLIGHT ON GABRIELA HEARST’S LET IT RIP PATCHWORK Gabriela Hearst is known for her commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. To bring her vision for the 'Let it Rip Patchwork' concept to life, we used techniques involving hand-manipulating the warp and weft yarns of the linen gauge. Seven colors are meticulously hand-painted on the linen to create blocks separated by hand-embroidered ladders and frays, giving an overall ripping and fraying patchwork appearance.

The Holidays go hand in hand with tradition and craft. During this holiday season, as I reflect on the highlights of my year, I think fondly of November, the Diwali month. This year during Diwali, I returned to my birth country. I celebrate and dedicate this month’s newsletter to sharing the traditional craft, adornment and spirituality I witnessed from traveling around India. Here’s to starting the Holiday Season by raising a toast to preserving tradition, culture, and diversity. Happy Holidays!Please subscribe to our newsletters at the below link. https://marasim.us8.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e56001ab49a37abca54df1f42&id=d08c43ee23 Nidhi Garg Allen Founder Marasim

Ocean Plaid Scarf production for Tory Burch handwoven in Bhuj at the family home of the Mangariya Family. By the end, the reel captures three generations of weavers from the Mangariya family together at work.

Paper like crisp shiny silk made from hand-reeling fine tussar yarns from raw silk cocoons collected from the forest ranges on the border of Bihar, and West Bengal states in India. If the yarn is finely machine-reeled and bleached, it gives a Fletcher yarn that’s woven into a beautiful, soft, and drapey organza silk. Both the raw silks present a fantastic surface for prints and embroideries.

On this Mother’s Day, I commemorate my last month’s trip to my motherland by thanking my 4+ years old little New Yorker. A great honor to interact with so many fellow working moms. I appreciate all the moms doing what they do for their families and communities—no love like a mother’s love. Happy Mother’s Day ❤️ A special thanks to the government of Jharkhand and @ashish_satyavrat_sahu for introducing us to the government’s ‘Khadi’ initiative involving safe and elevated working environment for many local women.
