Zafrosh

Zafrosh Handwoven Fabric Fabric Width: 36 Inches What am I? I am Zafrosh, a Handwoven fabric, named after the violet bloom of the zafran flower. For a few short weeks each autumn, the saffron fields wake before sunrise, and the women walk the rows gathering violet blossoms one by one, each holding a treasure worth more than gold. Zafrosh carries the colour of those petals: a soft, luminous lilac, quiet and unbroken, with the gentle texture of cloth woven slowly by hand. Light and breathable in pure cotton, it is made for days when simplicity is the most graceful choice. About my fabric. I was made with 100% fine cotton making me a breathable fabric. How I was woven?

I was woven by Voile's master artisan "Yusuf" Yusuf (Aged 59) migrated with his family from India in 1973 and started working alongside his father from the age of 10 in their family-run business, but due to this art vanishing from Pakistan, they couldn’t run their business at a profitable level and thus, ended up shutting down. Yusuf is one of those talented hand-weavers who believe that this art will eventually become extinct in the upcoming generation, hence his children won’t adopt this art and focus on other fields, however he wishes to pass this unique art to them. Saving the art Voile and its master artisans are vigorously working to breathe life into the art of hand-weave, we hope that by promoting this art to our valuable customers the next generation of our artisans might carry on the tradition of hand-weave. Voile is committed to facilitating this art by supporting our local artisans and their families in exploring rare techniques and providing an irreplaceable space in the fast fashion industry.
