Chhipa

Description

• Chhipa makes block printed clothing and accessories, with a modern aesthetic - softly tailored for unisex wear, in functional designs that are built to last. Founding On a trip to India in January 2015, founders Claudia Borfiga and Lizzie Lock, came across the ancient craft of block printing. They were excited by the process, and wanted to sustain its heritage by reimagining it in a modern aesthetic. After a couple of months designing back at home in London, they arrived back in Rajasthan to begin sampling. The Products Chhipas shirting is made in a mid-weight cotton twill, reminiscent of denim in its durability, but smooth to the touch. Softly tailored for unisex wear, they come in two different shirting styles; the English based on an Oxford button-down, with a secret pocket, or the Indian based on a Kurta, with workerman pockets. Our Kaparas are pieces of silk/cotton cloth, block printed using a mud resist process called dabu and then naturally dyed. They have many uses with some of our favourites being scarves, beach cover-ups, neckerchiefs, and wall hangings. Guidelines - We make functional products, that people can use and love, year after year - Each product is made in a limited edition to reflect the craftsmanship that goes into them, no two products are ever alike - We endeavour to have a low environmental product, to be nature positive and sustainable - We document and share our design and manufacturing processes, so that our customers can understand the craft of our product - We dont work to fashion seasons; our printers can only manufacture when ambient weather permits, we share it with you as soon as we can Collaboration In December 2016, we started The Makers Shop, a pop-up store celebrating craft and design, with workshops and events. Thirty different makers, working in a range of different mediums took part, we hope to plan more events like this in the future and to continue collaborating wherever possible.
