Details
Jamadani weave is an art, the highlight of this textile are its rich motifs, which are all intricately added by hand. Jamdani is considered the most advanced hand weaving technique in the world. Each motif has to be inlaid into the fabric by adding denser threads to fine warp threads by hand. This requires skill and precision. It involves a community of artisans, often a family of weavers, dyers and spinners coordinating with each other.
For our cotton jamdani line we have partnered with Karomi, based in Kolkata, India. Founded by the sister duo, Sarita Ganeriwala and Sarika Ginodia, their design is best described as a movement of elements translated to textile and brought to life through the collective effort of nearly 200 weavers.
Every piece begins as an idea on the drawing table. The idea is allowed to grow with artistic freedom, explored in several colors, patterns and combinations. It is then graphed out as a design for the weavers to weave in Jamdani.

About the brand
Urban Medley supports traditional weaving and printing forms. Their designers help the artisans to balance tradition with contemporary designs, and help them to commercialize using their age- old methods and production processes. The beautiful scarves and accessories from Urban Medley are made by small communities of weavers and printers from India. The weavers mainly work from home, whereby they determine their own working hours. The printers work in a small workshop with pleasant working conditions. Urban Medley uses organic, black cotton, 'peace' silk and organic leather for their products. The brand does not want to be bound by age, gender, race, color or even size, therefore accessories have been chosen as the main focus point. The accessories help you shape your own style. The ‘take care’ bags too are environmentally friendly: fabric bags made by women working from home in a village of Tamilnadu. These women can therefore support their family without having to step out. The brand helps you to be a proud and conscious fashionista.
