A crafted luxury essential handwoven by Rafig Bhai and his family. The handcraft of SUJNI comes from the city of Bharuch in Western India. It is a 150-year-old weaving technique that was traditionally used to make the famous Bharuch Sujni, a beautiful handmade quilt. Today, there are only two surviving families able to keep this highly complicated skill alive.

The complex weaving mechanism of the centuries-old loom used for the Sujni method gives the fabric its signature padded look. This is achieved when two layers of fabric are interwoven, creating little pockets. For accessories such as blankets and pillows, these pockets are filled to give the fabric more volume. Since all the stitches that create these pockets are made using the loom rather than by hand or machine, the fabric is especially resilient: if one pocket gets damaged, the others will remain unaffected. Another wonderful attribute of the Sujni method is the harmonious look it gives the fabric, which becomes identical from both sides. Layering is therefore unnecessary for our sleepwear or blankets. For our sleepwear, we also leave the pockets unfilled, which gives the fabric a beautiful and unique texture.

As industrial weaving is driving this wonderful craft to extinction therefore I would like to preserve it and keep this family a close partner.
