Kalamkari, one of India’s most treasured textile art forms, carries a legacy that spans nearly 3,000 years. Originating in the state of Andhra Pradesh, its very name reflects its essence—‘kalam’ meaning pen and ‘kari’ meaning art. First celebrated under Mughal patronage in the Deccan, Kalamkari has remained an enduring symbol of handcraft excellence.
What makes this art form extraordinary is its devotion to purity—crafted exclusively with natural dyes through a meticulous process that can involve up to twenty-three stages. Two distinctive traditions define Kalamkari: the freehand painted Srikalahasti style, where every motif is drawn and colored by hand with a kalam, and the block-printed Machilipatnam style, created with hand-carved blocks and vegetable dyes.
By reimagining Kalamkari on silk ties, we bring this age-old artistry into the realm of modern luxury. Each piece becomes more than an accessory—it is a canvas of heritage, a statement of culture, and a timeless expression of refined elegance.
Introducing Knottylooms—where timeless artistry meets contemporary elegance. This hand-painted Kalamkari necktie, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, showcases intricate floral motifs brought to life on a refined black silk base. The vivid blooms contrast beautifully against the dark backdrop, creating a statement piece that embodies heritage, sophistication, and modern luxury in perfect harmony.
