Myanmar

Land of a gazillion temples. :) I exaggerate but there are a lot of bhudhist temples and budha statues. Each small city we visited had it's own charm and it's distinctive landscape as you can see from the pictures below. The pictures represent the peace we were able to take away with us, as well as the green tea! 

Inspirations

I'd like to share all the crazy patterns and colors we came across during our trip, not only in India but Myanmar as well. I'll upload more tomorrow! Enjoy!

The imprint of the woman

Our inspiration wall is filled with the many embroideries of Kutch, a region in Gujarat, India. Many sub communities who are known for their embroidery hereditary are spread around the kutch region. We had the pleasure of visiting a few of them and buying straight from the women in the villages. Each piece is a living imprint of the woman and her craft history.

Many organizations work one on one in cooperatives with these women to help them zone in on their skill as well as elaborate their business skills. You can soon find unique Ichcha products that work to encourage this traditional craft.
