Ahmedabad & Kachchh: A Textile Trail (26th February - 5th March 2025)
Journeys are about self-discovery and the discovery of new places, people, cultures and traditions.
Get into the heart of India. Experience one of the most appreciated traditions while meeting the finest craftsman and connecting with the stories that have kept traditions that date back to the 15th century alive. Taste the exquisite cultures of rural India while travelling through the corridors of India’s textile rich states.
Come to explore a land where opulence is woven into rich silks and cottons and where the finer things are detailed in the embroidery of the most elegant garments and accessories. Chats and interactive visits with a textile design expert and local artisans nurture our understanding of the various weaving and printing techniques and historical context as it shapes India’s contemporary textile culture.
