Description
Splash Recycled yarns leftover from other handwoven fabrics are threaded into new warps, creating flashes of colour against natural, undyed cotton.
Inspired by the cool days of winter in Bangladesh brightened with splashes of colour from blossoming trees, these fabrics are handwoven by weavers in fair trade groups. Ethical production means that both the makers and their environment are respected at every level.
We’re here to help you create your own stunning range whilst strengthening professional handweaving communities, raising awareness and together protecting our planet! Just request a trade account to get started.

Ethically minded designers & makers create with total peace of mind using our মাটি | Mati collection of eco-friendly fabrics. Mati in Bengali means earth, the source of all these plant-based fibres, and the place to which they’ll return.
DESIGN OPTIONS: This fabric is skillfully handwoven on a traditional 2 shaft frame loom and so plain weave is the base for every fabric. The excitement starts when you think about different thicknesses of yarn to create texture, numerous colours to create pattern, resist dye techniques before and after weaving, plus, the potential of supplementary weft designs – it’s amazing!
Your personal fabric range is absolutely possible!

As we are committed to the Slow Fashion Movement, fabrics are transported by sea to leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint than sending by air and to keep the fabric cost down. If needed however, an air shipment can be arranged. We encourage you then to consider a carbon offset donation to your preferred organisation.
