The Caravan Route T-Shirt
-
Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.
The caravan route did not belong to one culture. It passed through all of them, exchanging material and language and design as it moved. The Caravan Route T-Shirt is built in that spirit — a meeting point of techniques and materials that have their own separate histories, arriving together on a single garment.
On a yellow jersey base, traditional motifs are laser-cut from khaddar and applied to the shirt surface. Jute sublimation patches sit on the front alongside the khaddar, a pairing of two very different material weights and textures. Screen-printed front artwork runs across the body, creating a final layer over the combined surface.
Yellow is the colour of the caravan in full light — visible, warm, unmistakable on the horizon. The laser-cut khaddar motifs are from the traditions that lined that route: geometric patterns that survived centuries of travel because they were simple enough to remember and complex enough to mean something. The jute patches ground the shirt in a rougher, earthier material register.
Routes are not destinations. They are processes, encounters, accumulations. This shirt is assembled the same way — from things that were already moving, brought together at one point on the map.

Cotton is warped onto a wooden khaddi and woven one throw of the shuttle at a time. The slubs and small shifts in the weave stay in the cloth. That's the point.
