Some projects don’t begin with a design brief.
They begin with a feeling.
The Kora Edit is one such project — a collaborative textile art offering shaped by slow processes, lived memory, and the gentle dignity of handmade cloth.
This is not fashion. This is not a launch.
This is a question wrapped in fabric:
What might happen if what we wore carried not just style, but story? Not just form, but feeling?
Over the next three months, we will co-create a series of 18 free-size garments — made to be kept, dyed, redyed, touched, re-touched — and loved for longer than trend allows.
🌿 What is The Kora Edit?
‘Kora’ means raw, blank, untouched. It is where the story begins — a metaphor for memory waiting to take form.
The Kora Edit brings together 18 free-size garments that are:
- Hand-treated with eco-printing, natural dyeing, and block techniques
- Stitched by the women of Rangrez, a rural skill centre
- Designed to be re-dyed and revived over time, so they grow with the wearer
Each piece carries its own evolution — like the person who wears it.
🧶 Why This Is Not Fashion
Because we’re not trying to disrupt fashion.
We’re trying to remember something older than it.
We are not here to be another label that “thinks differently”.
We are here to co-create a slower loop — where what we wear becomes an archive of who we are becoming.
This is not a product launch. It’s a quiet experiment in textile and time.
🪡 The Collection
We are crafting 18 pieces — all adjustable-size, and all offered in three tiers of presence:
1. Everyday Rituals
Soft tops, dhotis, and wraps designed for daily rhythm
2. Slow Statements
Longer silhouettes and sculptural forms — garments that hold pause
3. Living Heirlooms
One-of-a-kind textiles to pass on or revive across time
Each piece will carry a story tag — naming its process, place, and season.
🤍 The White Cloth: A Symbol, Not a Blank
Some garments will be shown undone — undyed — on purpose.
They are symbolic. A quiet gesture toward possibility.
They will also be available for purchase — with the invitation to re-dye later, as an act of becoming.
🌾 Who’s Behind This Project
- Bridge & Bloom – creative direction, project curation, and storytelling
- Our Feets Can Cuddle – fabric and dye studio leading print, material sourcing, and technical development
- Rangrez Skill Centre – rural women-led stitching and production
- Vinyasa Earth – host of the final ramp walk at Zariya, their annual art festival
This is a conversation between land, labour, and legacy.
✨ Support the Thread
We’re opening this circle gently — to funders, patrons, and early collectors.
You can:
- Support a tier of creation (₹25K–1L) as a patron or brand
- Pre-order a piece (₹10K–₹30K) to be delivered after the ramp
- Offer any amount in support of textile art, rural women, and slowness

🧭 Why The Kora Edit?
Because cloth can be more than clothing.
Because the hands that stitch deserve to walk beside what they make.
Because stories can be dyed into fabric — and revived across lifetimes.
This isn’t about owning more. It’s about owning slower.
Not consumption — companionship.
We’re not building a brand.
We’re tending to a thread of thought.
