Lisa Ray Instagram – When I was talking to @anuragchauhanofficial for his virtual lit fest, I told him how much I coveted his shawl, printed with pichwai inspired images. Soon enough the founders of @labelpratham reached out and generously sent me this token of love bursting with vibrancy and iconography that has brightened our lives. (The masks is a very welcome touch) Every detail of their Pichwai crafted fabrics carries the stories of weavers, artisans and the brushstrokes of the tradition of Nathdwara, Rajasthan. I am grateful to drape these creations in my home, over my favourite chair, on a screen that surrounds my desk, over my shoulder and yes, around my babies. Thank you Shweta and Prashant for upholding and reinventing this essential artistic legacy- you’ll see in the next image I placed one of my pichwai paintings alongside. Scroll through to the end to see a surprise appearance by Soleil. And thank you @anuragchauhanofficial for introducing me to this independent label. Now is the time to support all our independent labels and the artisans crafting behind the scenes ❤️🌸
