Photographer Nabina Nazar recently spent time in Ladakh, India to document the region’s textile processes with our partners KAL. Nabina was gracious enough to share some of her photos with us. These images tell a visual story of the rich history of the region, at the base of the Himalayan mountains, where life is connected to the seasons and textiles are still created by hand.

If you find these photos inspiring, you can join us for a textile tour in Ladakh this year.

This experience offers a deeper connection to the rich heritage of indigo and the people who continue its tradition.
