Its inspiration, however, travels far beyond Marrakech:<\/p>\n<p>The birthplace of Kantha, Bengal \u2013 straddling India and Bangladesh \u2013 saw this tradition emerge over a thousand years ago: village women would layer old fabrics, often worn saris, assembling them with a running stitch before enriching them with motifs. This seemingly modest practice still requires an uncommon steadiness of hand today.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI saw running stitch endlessly in southern India, where embroiderers practise Kantha: a quick embroidery, done freehand, with very little thread. It was this restraint that made me want to bring it to Marrakech. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But in transposing it, our artisans made it their own: they chose to work with more thread, and the line\u2014now laid perfectly straight along the edge\u2014demands a precision I hadn\u2019t imagined at the outset. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What was meant to be a simple, quick technique became, in their hands, another finish\u2014almost more demanding than the one that inspired it. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s what I love about a craft travelling from one country to another: it is never copied; it is reinvented.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The <span data-sheets-root=\"1\">TRASS napkin <\/span>coordinates with the collection<\/h2>\n<p>The TRASS Napkin coordinates with the placemat and tablecloth from the same collection, for a fully matched table setting. It also pairs more broadly with all the brand&#8217;s collections, without restriction. As always, mixing pieces remains primarily a matter of personal taste.<\/p>\n<h2>Care<\/h2>\n<p>For the care of the TRASS Napkin, we invite you to consult our dedicated article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/entretien-du-linge-artisanal\/\">caring<\/a> for artisanal linens, which details the recommended steps to preserve the cotton&#8217;s quality over time.<\/p>\n<h2>To go further<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u2192 Internal link to article<\/em>: \u201cThe Kantha stitch, an embroidery from India\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2192 Read our article: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/entretien-du-linge-artisanal\/\">\u201cCaring for artisanal linens\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TRASS Table Napkin, in ecru cotton, is hand-embroidered in our Marrakech workshop.
