Meet Rabari: Inspired By and Hand-Crafted In India
Rabari is actually a collection of three different carpets, all inspired by, and hand-crafted in, India, a world leader when it comes to gorgeous textiles. The carpets were designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien and their patterns were influenced by the process witnessed by Doshi in her aunt’s embroidery shop in Ahmedabad. “We wanted our collection for Nani Marquina to reference the unfinished embroideries like studies of different techniques in progress, as they gradually emerge over time.
