Indian textiles · The 2026 Collection
What a textile carries, Pratima carries forward.
India's textile traditions run deep: in fibre, in weave, in the hands that finish a piece before it ships. We connect that knowledge with the brands, retailers and designers who will put it to use, wherever they are.
We choose the workshops, understand the materials, and describe both honestly enough that sourcing from India feels as dependable as sourcing from anywhere else.
About Pratima →
A considered range, not a catalogue.
Four collections built for everyday-to-considered retail, and a Pashmina line above them, chosen for material, character, versatility and quality.
Know the cloth.
Fibre, composition, construction and provenance should never be a mystery. Every piece in the range comes with what we know written down plainly, and where a buyer needs independent proof, we can arrange verification.
Behind every piece, a workshop we know directly.
Pratima's textile knowledge lives in the workshops we work with across India. Kashmir is one part of that network: deep expertise we've built a real relationship with, not a starting point we're limited to.
Four generations. Eighty-plus handlooms. A family that has done nothing else.
One of the Kashmiri workshops in Pratima's network. By the family's own account it was registered in around 1860, with the weaving practice reaching back further still. The fourth generation runs it today, both sides of the family drawn from the same trade.
More than eighty handlooms operate alongside their power looms, which is why this single workshop can produce both machine-woven consistency and hand-woven heritage, and tell us honestly which piece is which.
How we work, made practical.
The collection is the starting point.
A different colour, composition, weave, embroidery, print or private-label treatment: where the requirement calls for it, we can explore development with our production partners.
