An ode to the power of cloth as identity and inheritance.
Each garment is made with the quiet luxury of time and the mastery of skills honed over generations, handwoven and embellished by India’s artisan communities. Within these weaves lie memory and heritage, ritual and identity; where art and anthropology are woven together.
To wear Talisman is to step into a lineage - a connection not only with cloth, but with story.
Edition 2025/26
In our Jyaamiti Kantha capsule, kantha reaches its zenith - pushed to the very limits of what the human hand can achieve.
Hand-stitched by our remarkable artisans in Bengal on pure tussar silk, each coat is six months in the making: an heirloom in progress, museum-worthy in quality and devotion.
Here, precision and intuition coexist: every line carefully measured, every stitch alive with the quiet rhythm of human hands.
Across our Talisman capsules runs a single thread: clothing as art, as memory.
Each piece holds the trace of its maker, the weight of time, and the beauty of skill honed over generations.

JYAAMITI KANTHA
Across Talisman, each garment carries its own resonance - a continuity of skill, of story, of touch.
In our Kantha Collection, that continuity becomes visible: centuries of inherited craft stitched into layers of repurposed cloth, giving fabric, and tradition, new life.
A textile language born in Bengal, Kantha transforms the humble and the familiar. Echoes of Japanese boro patchwork surface in its philosophy: repair as devotion, reuse as respect. Yet Kantha remains distinct in its warmth - a communal act among women, an act of transformation.
Each piece holds the trace of many hands in countless running stitches. A quiet collaboration that turns survival into beauty, and necessity into art.

KANTHA x BORO
Within Talisman, every garment carries meaning: as ritual, as memory, as inheritance. Our Itajime capsule speaks of clothing as art & culture.
Itajime is an ancient Japanese resist-dye textile tradition where fabric is folded, clamped between wooden blocks, and immersed in dye to create striking geometric patterns. At House of Wandering Silk, this technique is reimagined by Indian artisans on lustrous silks - textiles that heighten the drama of geometry with their fluid drape and luminous surface.
Each piece becomes a dialogue across geographies: Japanese precision and heritage meeting Indian artistry, structure dissolving into movement as the cloth moves with the body. The result is abstraction alive with color and light.
In The Itajime Collection, silk becomes canvas, and clothing becomes art.
