Discover the story behind our Khanta placemats :
An ode to craftsmanship and eco-responsibility
At the heart of every Caravane product beats a passion for authenticity, creativity and respect for nature. The Khanta Placemats embody this philosophy perfectly, delving into a world where craftsmanship and eco-responsibility merge to create unique and captivating pieces.
A new life for Vintage khanta blankets
The story begins with a respectful gesture towards the environment. We give a second life to Khanta Vintage blankets using an upcycling approach. Each blanket is carefully patinated in an all-vegetable bath, marking the beginning of its transformation into an object that is both elegant and durable.
The craft of vegetable block printing
The following process is a journey through centuries of craftsmanship. Patinated blankets become blank canvases for our vegetable block printing technique. Each design is created with meticulous care, using dyes extracted exclusively from plants. This method brings to life a palette of natural, harmonious colours, a tribute to the beauty of nature.
A complex and wonderful ritual
Block printing is more than just a technique - it's a ritual that breathes life into every Khanta placemat. A layer of clay applied with precision creates the reserved motif, followed by meticulous fixing with sawdust. Finally, the application of vegetable dye adds the finishing touch, sealing the story of each set in a swirl of organic colours.
