Brighton & Hove News, 28 July 2023:

'A Brighton family have literally stopped traffic with a new mural inspired by a sari pattern on their new home.

Poppy Jaman and Jaan Madan moved to Southampton Street in Hanover in January, and immediately knew they wanted to make a splash when decorating the outside.

She said: “One of the reasons we wanted to move to the centre of Brighton is that it’s so colourful.

“We were inspired by murals in Washington where there’s a whole area where there’s murals which have been created out of adversity.

“That inspired the idea of making a statement with our home. I wanted to not just paint something that I love. If you just love something that’s enough, but I also wanted to say here’s a bit of my identity.

“I collect saris and Jamdani is a signature saris of Bangladesh. It’s got a colonial past to it.

The mural is inspired by the Jamdani weave saree, the signature saree of Dhaka, Bangladesh, which dates back at least as far back as 300BC.

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, Jamdani fabric – so fine it was known as ‘woven air’ – was one of the most highly coveted commodities in Mughal courts and further afield. However, by the mid-19th century, Jamdani had become almost extinct.

Poppy has written more about her relationship with the Jamdani design and its colonial history here.'

Gulzaar Collection | Spring/Summer Outfits

A blossoming garden is a metaphor for new life, happiness and hope. Inspired by this thought, our new S/S ‘23 collection - GULZAAR - captures the spirit of spring flowers and India’s vibrant culture, with striking bright colours - bold fuchsia that commands attention, warm mustard that adds playfulness, vivid green that breathes freshness, and a classic blue that calms the soul. GULZAAR celebrates the synergy of many skilled craftspeople — Jamdani weavers from West Bengal, Khadi weavers of North Gujarat, and women crochet lace makers. The Vibrant-hued Jamdani textiles are combined with box-check handloom cotton to create a kaleidoscope of patterns and colours. This unique blend of traditional Indian textiles has been fashioned into do-it-all co-ord sets, statement-making layers, easy-breezy kurtas and light-as-air dresses. These exquisite pieces are embellished with beadwork, patchwork, crochet detailing and hand-done stitches, to create a beautiful synergy of traditional craftsmanship and artistry.

As we welcome spring, lose yourself in the splendour of a resplendent garden with GULZAAR.

. BUNON「Khadi Wool JAMDANI」 Embroidery ALine Quilting Coat / Frost Gray このコートを着たい季節になりました。 今日はほんとに寒かった〜。 以前の投稿でもご紹介した、ジャムダニ織りのカディウール生地を使用したキルティングコート。 毎年ご好評いただいていますBUNONのキルティングコート。見た目よりもとても軽い着心地というのが、一番のおすすめポイントです。 今まではロング丈だったのですが、今シーズンはミドル丈。重たくならないシルエットでバランスよくコーディネートしていただけます。 このジャムダニ織りの生地が本当に素晴らしいのですが、さらに立体感のあるハンド刺繍が施されて、職人の手仕事を贅沢に感じられて、気分も上がります。 雪の結晶のような織り柄が浮かび上がり、グレーと白の対比が、冬の日の気分にもぴったりです。 【Today’s coordinate】 ブラウス #bunon 「Khadi Silk Stripe」Long Blouse パンツ #gasa きらめく花々 . . #bunon #jamdani #khadi #quilting #coat #margot_kanazawa (マーゴ - margot) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clqp1XzLI-6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
