OUR STORY
Ethnic designs re-purposed for the modern world.
Exposure to different eye catching textiles was a routine experience for me during my childhood in Kenya. Frequent trips to my parent's motherland of India amplified my exposure to different textiles. Added to this mix was my father's professional background as a textile engineer which further helped me learn about different spinning, weaving and dyeing processes. All this ultimately led to my life long love for textiles.
Ethnic textiles exude a warmth and spirit that is intangible. These textiles have soul, as we like to say at Kudu Gear. Many textiles when transported out of their element only serve as a souvenir of a memorable trip at best, but we look for textiles that translate or are re-purposed for the modern world, and are usable on a daily basis while still showing off the exemplary culture of their origins.
