My journey at Qissaa has been focussed exciting wayward adventurous. My love for textiles prompted me to ask pertinent questions always and as a consequence my data bank was considerable. I wanted hand woven stuff imperfections and all. My dream was to curate stuff from all over the country like my ma initiated my love for this diaspora by getting me one of each kind for my trousseau. I decided to focus on Bengal as it is local and resonates with my environment, espousing the tradition of Bengal. I was always fascinated by Nakshi kantha which has fifteen stitches unlike the plain running stitch which most artisans make.
