The connection and continuity between ancient Indian textile crafts and our modern handmade textiles in India can be seen in the preservation and continuation of traditional techniques, designs, and materials. We still use the same methods and tools used by our artisan’s ancestors, such as hand-loom weaving, block printing, and hand embroidery. These techniques have been passed down from generation to generation and continue to influence our modern textiles. Additionally, our modern Indian textiles still draw inspiration from ancient designs and patterns, such as paisley and floral motifs. However, it is important to note that modern handmade textiles in India have also evolved to incorporate new elements and techniques. For D’Ascoli we often incorporate contemporary designs and colors, while experimenting with new materials and techniques such as manual embroidery, computer embroidery, and digital printing. Despite these changes, the core essence and spirit of our traditional Indian textile crafts remains evident in our modern handmade textiles.
