Imogen Catling - Vanata Textiles

Vanata is the brand of a mother and daughter team who have been travelling to India together for nearly 20 years to study textiles and learn from masters of their craft. Excited by the energy and creativity of a new generation of textile artisans from the Kutch region, Gujurat, Vanata works with skilled makers, often at the beginning of their careers, to champion their designs.

Imogen is a trained textile designer who works with the cultural enterprise United Artisans of Kutch and fourth-generation weaver, Rajan Vankar to celebrate traditional skills by bringing contemporary, wearable designs to new markets.

Always focused on quality, sustainability and craft, all artisans are paid a price for their goods that is set by them, not negotiated and promotes sustainable craft. Garments are created in home environments, allowing the makers to set their own pace of work and balance this with family life.
