It comes from a much older tradition, which Val\u00e9rie Barkowski discovered in India before bringing it to her workshop:<\/p>\n<p>Kantha, an embroidery tradition from Bengal (India and Bangladesh), originally consisted of layering and stitching together old fabrics with a running stitch, giving them a second life. This centuries-old technique, passed down through generations of women, owes its success solely to the regularity of the hand that practices it.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00ab I saw the running stitch endlessly in Southern India, where embroiderers practice Kantha: a quick, freehand embroidery, using very little thread. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was this sobriety that made me want to bring it to Marrakech. But in transposing it, our artisans made it their own: they chose to work with more thread, and the stitching, now set perfectly straight along the edge, demands a precision I hadn&#8217;t initially imagined.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What was intended as a simple and swift technique became, in their hands, an entirely new finish \u2013 almost more demanding than the one from which it drew its inspiration. This is what I appreciate about the journey of craftsmanship from one country to another: it is never merely copied; it is always reinvented.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Coordinating with the collection<\/h2>\n<p>The TRASS hand-embroidered tablecloth also coordinates with the placemats and napkins from the same collection, for a perfectly harmonious table setting. It also pairs beautifully with our other table linen collections. Feel free to mix and match pieces as you wish; a beautifully set table is, above all, a matter of personal taste.<\/p>\n<h2>Care instructions<\/h2>\n<p>Cotton should be washed at 40\u00b0C on a delicate cycle, separate from very dark laundry. Air drying is preferable to tumble drying to maintain the fabric&#8217;s suppleness; a low-temperature iron will suffice afterward. The only rule to observe: no fabric softener, as it closes the fibers and reduces the longevity of textiles.<\/p>\n<p>Find all our care recommendations for the TRASS hand-embroidered tablecloth in the dedicated article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/entretien-du-linge-artisanal\/\">artisanal linen care<\/a>, available on our website.<\/p>\n<h2>To learn more<\/h2>\n<p>If you would like more information on:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/linge-hotelier-sur-mesure-marrakech\/\">Bespoke hospitality linen, this article<\/a> provides excellent insights<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/linge-de-maison-haut-de-gamme\/\"> Premium home linen<\/a>, our philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TRASS hand-embroidered tablecloth, in ecru cotton, is crafted by our artisans in our Marrakech workshop.
