Painting a Folkscape with our Treasure | Exclusive Collection

 The treasure of art & craft in our country is equivalent to the depth of ocean. Our textile connoisseur keep on exploring these magnificent crafts based on textiles but we just couldn't keep our eyes off the other artforms & that's what gave the idea of Folkscape.

Ranging from the Pichawai Paintings to Warli, Madhubani, Gond Art, Kalighat, & more! we're inspired by all of them. So doing what we do best, we have interpreted our take on these artforms in our Exclusive Folkscape Fabric Collection.

Pichwai

Hailing from Nathdwara (Rajasthan), the Pichwai paintings were created as a means to express devotion. The word Pichwai translates to 'hanging at back' (‘pich’ stands for back and ‘wai’ stands for hanging). The paintings were initially used as background for deities & as decoration on temple walls. Nowadays these paintings form an essential style of home decor, adorning art galleries, museums, & even homes. The artform extends up to accessories, cushion covers, & even clothing.

MAIN CHARACTER & THEME: 

Pichwai paintings celebrate Lord Krishna and his surroundings. Depicting scenes of his childhood days, the main characters include Nandi cows, peacocks, lotus and birds. With a vibrant colour palette consisting of green & blue as base & hints of pink, red & white as accents.

FABRICLORE’S INTERPRETATION:

Our Pichwai Inspired Exclusive Collection is accentuated with a digital take on this folk artform. Keeping alive its charm, the vibrant colour palette is perfect for all your daytime attires. The Rayon modal fabric further adds to the lively mood of the collection.

 

Warli

You must have witnessed this artform once in your life, recall those stick figurines?

Well those are the cherished Warli figures. The tribal art of Warli was initially practised in North Sahyadri Range in Maharashtra. As a means of entertainment & decoration, people used to paint mud walls of their home with rice water paste. These paintings mainly depicted village scenes, everyday activities & folklores.

  A story which almost didn’t happen! AND WE CAN DO CRAZY FOR YOU! It travelled for  23 Days! That's 552 hrs  in 7 different flights across 5 different countries, just so our love story could be completed.  It all started when a fashion  designer living in New Caledonia, a French island country near Australia in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, fell in love with Indian fabrics at Fabriclore. A mother & artistry enthusiast, she decided to craft her story with them.  We could not be happier when she found us on the internet and reached out to us. We were thrilled and excited to start our journey with her and look at her creations. She selected the fabrics , put them in the cart, and was ready to complete her order.  But, but, but… Like every new journey comes with hurdles and obstacles this did too.  She could not complete the order because our system displayed ‘No Delivery available at New Caledonia’. We knew that the hurdle was big but we were ...
