Coromandel's Handmade Crewel Embroidered fabrics could be regarded as the luxury textiles of the future, and are sure to become family heirlooms for generations to come. The upholstery weight backing cloth, which they specifically choose to have slow-made on a Handloom, and their exquisite and vibrant Crewels, which are embroidered entirely by hand, are the complete antithesis of today's throwaway culture.

Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Over a period of months, the beautiful and durable fabrics are handmade, slowly but surely, by highly skilled artisans in a village based cottage industry in Kashmir. This slow process of human interaction, creating something beautiful solely by hand, is in direct contrast to the frenetic setting in which most cloth is now more cheaply made by power looms in city based factories.
By using only 100% natural and biodegradable fibres and dyes, Coromandel produce unique and appealing fabrics which are toxin and plastic free. At Coromandel, they believe that creating luxury curtains and fine upholstery for truly bespoke interiors does not need to be at the expense of the natural world. Their eco-friendly, slow made Crewel and Handloom fabrics are designed to be kind to the environment, as well as to us.
As Mahatma Gandhi said ' There is more to life than increasing its speed'.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
