About me / About business or organisation:: The Berlin-based High Fashion label ‚kimberit’ links fashion and art, inspired by other art disciplines as well as nature’s creativity.
The unique style is a result of a conceptual approach followed by an experimental design process.

Thanks you so much for getting back to me. I've been on a small vacation, so I just received your comment today. I'll be emailing some samples this afternoon.

Looking forward to hearing form your office,

I will put in the post for you swatches so you can see and feel the fabrics. I will put in the cactus as well as the nepali silk. No the silk here is not AHINSA at the moment but if someone is interested in getting that done, on some sort of long term basis, then we can do it. I hope you understand. Everything is so much about survival here that people do not go into those sort of details. I have spoken to the producers about it and they are not so keen as you do get less yarn and then different yarn too. I can slo do rugs in 60-80-100knots in any of the naturla fibres. If there is anything else, let us know. Take care,
Udaya

Thank you for your reply. I can send you swatches -- by post of course. I have 10 colours in vege dyes and then 406 colours with the swiss AZO free dyes. Can dye what you want. We an also do yarn dyeing so you can have stripes, checks etc. I can make any sort of fabric that you want. I have a range of hand woven and a range of machine woven. I can send you both if you send me you postal address. Of course our lead times will be eight weeks but that depends on the size of your order. I do rugs in hemp, nettle, banana, etc too. I have had the pleasure to introduce hemp to many companies in the UK. I also have nepali silk and a new yarn from cactus but that is quite stiff. I was the supplier for many companies but came back to my country to try and do something here. Let me know what you are looking for and we can take it from there. Take care and have a good one.
