Handwoven textiles from Bengal
Small-batch, loom-specific works.
Alongside cloth, we make objects.Cinnabar is our ongoing study of abstract brass jewellery — sculptural, imperfect, and meant to be lived with.
CRIMSON BRAID & CINNABAR
Sarees and jewellery
Rooted in Bengal, Crimson Braid and Cinnabar are two expressions of a shared practice. One works with handwoven cloth, the other with metal — both attentive to history, use, and repetition.
Sarees are woven to be worn every day. Jewellery is made in small batches, shaped by objects and rituals from Kolkata. Nothing is ornamental without reason.

Crimson Braid is a Kolkata-based design house founded by Tvisha Bhattacharjee. The practice foregrounds handwoven textiles from Bengal that remain underrepresented within contemporary design contexts. Alongside cloth, the house develops Cinnabar, an object practice exploring abstract brass forms. The work prioritises material integrity, regional knowledge, and restrained production.
Why Bengal?
Bengal is a historic centre of handwoven textile production. While the region sustains extensive material knowledge, its practices are frequently marginalised within current design narratives. Crimson Braid works directly with handwoven textiles from Bengal, positioning them within a contemporary framework. Cinnabar extends this approach to brass, engaging regional material traditions through object form.
How We Work
Textile production takes place through direct collaboration with weavers across Bengal, in small workshops and on home looms. There is no factory production and no intermediary structure. Cinnabar operates alongside this system, producing brass objects in limited batches. Each saree reflects the pace, conditions, and specificity of its individual loom.
For Today’s Generation
The saree remains an active and evolving form of dress. Crimson Braid approaches textile design with attention to lightness, functional clarity, and everyday wearability. Cinnabar extends the practice into brass objects intended for daily use. Both operate without separating tradition from contemporary life.
Crimson Braid is developed through close collaboration between its founders and the skilled practitioners it works with. Cinnabar follows the same framework, extending the house’s material inquiry into metal. What began in a domestic setting continues to grow incrementally — one saree, one object at a time — guided by clarity of process and respect for Bengal’s material culture.
