A return to the moments that defined our year and the ideas that shaped them. Tilfi Replay traces a journey of thoughtful creation; following the threads of ingenuity, craftsmanship, and excellence that continue to weave our story. This quiet recollection is a reflection of our design philosophy—where every creation honours heritage while expanding its scope.
Replay is not just a celebration of what has been but also a reaffirmation of what we hold dear—artistry, innovation, and the propagation of an enduring legacy.
Of Firsts
Designed with a vision to expand the Banarasi repertoire, Tilfi’s ‘Silk and Wool’ was a bold endeavour to innovate and revitalize the craft. A first in Banarasi handweaves, it fuses pure pashmina wool from Kashmir with silk to create an ingenious, exceptional material.
Retelling History
Celebrating the richness of the world around us, Tilfi’s Shikargahs reinterpret age-old design traditions. Opulent Banarasi weaves depict scrolling jungle scenes of flora and fauna in their natural element, retelling the history of a pattern passed down through generations of artisans.
From Nature
Forever borrowing a muse from the magnificence of nature, Tilfi's floral designs offer a continual reimagining of traditional Banarasi weaves. With motifs that are imbued with the symbology and significance of each flower, Tilfi fosters a profound organic connection with nature, immortalising its fleeting essence in art.
Beyond the Loom
With a deep reverence for a craft passed down through generations, each piece of Tilfi is made by hand, crafted to withstand the tests of time. Every weave is the result of meticulous skill and dexterity, innate to the weaver’s craft, honed over time to achieve perfection.
Of Intersection
'The Way of Flowers' presents a serene cultural synthesis—a confluence of intricate Jamdani and the classical Japanese art of Ikebana. Transforming ethereal real zari sarees into canvases that embody the principles and styles of Ikebana, each weave captures its innate philosophies in a symphony of artistry.
A Bridge between Worlds
Marking a new chapter, Tilfi’s silk twill sarees embrace a technique that reimagines classical Banarasi weaving. Harnessing the distinctive diagonal rib of a twill weave, these sarees introduce an intriguing interaction of rhythm with the inherent texture of the fabric, creating a playful visual dialogue.
Convergence
A sublime union of traditions speaks of skill, patience, and precision. Where Kutchi bandhani meets Banarasi weaving, a confluence of mastery and heritage emerges—evoking depth and richness, as intricate patterns and profound hues harmonize.
Another Beginning
Tilfi’s flagship store in Mumbai carries forward a storied legacy of Banaras—an echo of its heritage and craft. Inspired by the Old city, it brings the soul of Banaras to the heart of Mumbai, a sanctuary where Indian artistry finds new horizons.
The Spirit of Tilfi
With a design philosophy that rests in honoring heritage while embracing innovation, Tilfi seeks to create with intention, crafting pieces to be remembered, honoring the past, speaking to the present, and belonging to the future.
