ILAMRA’s mission focuses on acquainting slow fashion enthusiasts with the colossal world of sustainable fashion and the various processes involved in its production. Many of our pieces use dyes extracted naturally that are then hand-block printed onto fabrics. This practice of  Kalamkari printing has been synonymous with ethnic and traditional designs, but at ILAMRA, we constantly broaden our horizons by integrating modern designs and patterns with traditional kalamkari block printing.
