Tulu is fig trees, tin cans, tigers, turquoise tiles, tulips. Harold Melvin, grandmother’s curtains, dusty Uzbeks on horses, pasha’s daughters in Kandilli, Mahfouz... We are hopeful that the art and attention of master craftsmen is not only relevant in today’s world, but even necessary. Tulu's hand-made textiles are the result of the great effort of the masters to achieve lasting and deliberate beauty. The satisfaction of hard work is evident in our fabrics- not just in the realization of a design, but also in the narrative of the fabric’s making- in the lines of the block, or the texture of handspun silk khadi.
