Historic Textile of the Month

Studio Notes: We've been purchasing authentic bandhani textiles directly from the Khatri community since 2020 and our first collaboration, the OG Polka Dot Scarves launched last month. Each scarf comes with a hangtag bearing a Khatri artisan, Aslam Khatri, signature, a nod to LCT's commitment to heritage craft and honoring the intellectual property of artisans.
