NAMAY SAMAY

Namay Samay is a superlative in the Bhutanese language, literally meaning “beyond the sky, beyond the earth,” and it is the name of a handmade textile house specializing in handwoven fabrics, embroidery, and hand-printed designs. John, whom we adore, and his family are the heart of this exquisite brand. Local artisans weave the designs by hand on waist and frame looms and embroider in metal, as in the workshops of Bhutan and Bengal in ancient times. They employ traditional techniques passed down from their elders and ancestors. The collections draw inspiration from historical designs of both Europe and the East but exude an Indian flavor that transports us to the foothills of the Himalayas. Vibrant colors, floral motifs, and cashmeres imbue character and authenticity to these exquisite creations.
