Sharmin’s unique dobby fabric was woven in Thanapara by master craftswomen exclusively for Heirloom. It’s so intricate that only a few metres can be woven per day. It is woven in a specialist dobby technique to create the beautifully delicate stripe and dot pattern.
To create the off-white base colour we don’t use bleach which is toxic in the waterways but instead the yarns are boiled and then left outside to fade naturally in the sun.
