Antimo is wearing a shirt today made from hand blocked Indian cotton given to him by his school friend, Aryaman. India produces some of the most exquisite textiles in the world, a tradition which goes back more than 3,000 years. What an adventure it would be to travel the country collecting fabrics from each of its 28-states. I would make cushions, curtains and culottes out of the material (well, not me personally –– I’m no Maria) and snap up kanthas a plenty. In the meantime, I’ll have to ask Aryaman to sneak a few into his backpack when he visits this summer.
