Description

Traditionally, Ehrami fabrics were woven in rectangular shapes for use as tablecloths, prayer mats, or to wrap garments and valuable textiles. However, with lifestyle shifts, the intricate nature of the weave, and rising cotton costs, demand has declined. As a result, fewer young artisans are learning the craft, putting Ehrami weaving at risk of disappearing.

The Delkūk team discovered Ehrami while working on an ikat collection and was immediately drawn to its structure, beauty, and potential for modern fashion. This led to a collaboration with Jamal Ghadirzadeh, a master weaver from Yazd and descendant of Ehrami artisans. Over two years, they produced nearly 200 meters of premium cotton Ehrami fabric in three colors, using traditionally dyed yarns from Kashan—long considered the weaving and dyeing capital of the region.
