Craft : "Nakshi Kantha" is an ancestral embroidery technique from the Bengal region of India & Bangladesh , and the northeastern Indian states of West Bengal and Tripura.
These delicate designs are embroidered by women who are part of organised groups of
rural artisans across Bangladesh, helping marginalised artisans access fair prices and international markets in order to promote this valuable craft heritage.
Storie is very proud to be working with an organisation that is working to advocate the use of traditional natural dyes and this precious savoir fair. They have focused on the sustainable development of natural textiles since 1990, and are accredited by the WFTO, which regularly monitors the working processes of the groups.

There are so many things to consider when putting together a textile collection, especially if you are working to make the products sustainable and ethical. Each fibre needs to be looked at for its values and cost of production, but also the value of the material for our clients - including how that material will age.
Unbleached cotton retains its natural colour, often in shades of cream, beige or with specks of beige colour in it. It is favoured for its minimal processing, the material isn’t exposed to potentially harmful chemicals such as chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, or optical brighteners, which are commonly used in the bleaching process.
