1853-founded Chikusen in Tokyo is recognised as having one of the finest reputations for kimono fabrics – it’s lauded in particular for its dyeing and hand-printing. The technique used is called Katazome, and involves dyeing by hand using hand-engraved paper stencils. All colours are vegetable-based, the most common being indigo. This Nazzy Beglari hand-loomed robe spotlights this meticulous process on one side and silk-cotton ikat on the reverse. It’s complete with hand-embroidered glass beads added by Abu Dhabi-based artisans.

Meet the Maker:
Nazzy Belgari
Nazzy Beglari has been enamoured by the ever-evolving art of ikat for as long as she can remember, and she spent years delving into its rich history – a form of investigative work she credits to her journalistic background. While studying double ikat, she learned of the Salvi family in Ahmedabad, India, who have been mastering the technique since the 11th century. To further her understanding, she visited them, and was blown away by their museum, workshop and heritage. This isn’t the only example, as she also works closely with 1853-founded Chikusen in Tokyo, which is widely regarded as one of the finest fabric houses in Japan. Her dedication to the finest make is underpinned by her strict zero-waste philosophy, as all cut-offs are used on collars, cuffs or to make lavender-scented pouches that she tucks away inside her reusable cotton packaging.
