The Best Fabric Brands To Help You Breathe New Life Into Old Spaces

2“A room should start a conversation before people actually start exchanging words,” interior designer Barry Dixon once said. Here we pick a range of fine linens, sumptuous silks and crisp cottons from across the country that are sure to tell a story about your fine taste.

1 NO-MAD

For six years now, Belgian designer Valerie Barkowski (the creative director at No-Mad) has been designing textiles and home linens that use artisanal techniques reinterpreted through a modern lens. The brand was founded by Mumbai-based engineer Anuj Kothari, with the aim of creating “a proudly Indian brand, but one that would appeal to design enthusiasts everywhere”.

Unlike many other Western designers who flock to the East for inspiration and cheap labour, Barkowski’s work begins with a focus on the craft techniques. For No-Mad’s latest collection, she uses Kutchi embroidery, colours and shapes from Moroccan carpet patterns alongside motifs from Jain cosmography to create a pure aesthetic pared down to its very essence. The cushions, and bed and table linen are perfect for injecting a bit of warmth and personality into clean, modern spaces.

2 SARITA HANDA

Sarita Handa’s luxury textiles and embroidered fabrics reflect its eponymous founder’s passion and immense respect for art and Indian craftsmanship. Though Sarita Handa Exports has been catering to international markets since 1992, the brand was launched in India in 2012.
