Banksia Embroidered Shirt – Dena Gower

This garment is a collaboration between the artists at Nagula Jarndu Designs and the Saheli Women in Rajasthan, India. A social enterprise centered on traditional craft and textiles practices in Jodhpur founded to create opportunities and financial independence for women. Collaborating with Saheli meant that we have more transparency in the production our garments, in ways that are both environmentally sustainable and ethically sound. It also supports jarndunil (women) like us! Designs by seven Nagula Jarndu artists were developed into either wood blocks or interpreted into an embroidery pattern by the makers in Jodhpur.

The soft pastel colours of this collection are the result of choosing natural dyes to create the repeat prints.

This design was created by artist Dena Gower, Banksia, embroidered on 100% Egyptian cotton
