BOOM CRAFT STUDIO Is founded 2020 and
run by Linda Zetterman and Sara Carlsson.
The studio works with a completely artisanal production of textiles both in their studio in Sweden and in collaboration with artisans in Kutch, India. Together we make limited series of the most beautiful crafted textiles. Deep knowledge and craft traditions are closely related to our textiles and design language. The use of local sourced sustainable materials and organic natural fibers and pigments is part of the vision. As well as reuse already existing textile materials and work for social ethical awareness and full transparency. The whole chain takes place without any intermediaries. The studio in Sweden offers workshops in natural dyeing for both professionals as well as students. The studio also integrates with art projects and aims to create a link in between craftsmanship, knowledge, art and sustainability. Welcome to follow our journey on Instagram @boomcraftstudio
The website will be launched in 2022.

Each kimono is unique and hand-printed in collaboration with @ajrakh.art in Ajrakhpur, Kutch, India. The region is known for it’s diverse and rich handicraft heritage. The name Khatri means “He who fills the surface with color”.
Block printing comes with a natural variation on the surface and the plant pigments give vivid shades that change over time.
BABU BHAI
THE TAILOR
The kimono is cut and sewn by Babu Bhai in the village of Dhori in the same region. The sewing machine has a central place in the home and Babu, like many craftsmen in India, has inherited the tailoring profession from his father.
