About Us
Our Story...
We met in India.
Our first date was on the Spring festival of Holi, where people run wild throwing powdered color on each other in the streets.
We took a magical boat ride on the lake in India’s largest bird sanctuary. As the sun set, we floated along in an old faded gray wooden rowboat surrounded by flocks of birds shadowed against a sky of oranges, pinks and purples.
On that 1st date we discovered our mutual love of textiles and shared our dreams of bringing a modern feel to traditional Indian designs. We sketched the outlines of the business we are doing today.

Our Inspiration...
Tradition, travel and photography inspire us. Over 30 years of world travel to India and beyond has given us a treasure trove of design inspiration. Kiran’s photographs of architectural details, and the old textiles we find in the nooks and crannies of India's bazaars and palaces are the jumping off point. We delight in creating fresh and modern designs by reinventing traditional motifs and infusing them with contemporary color.
Our Craftsmen...
All ColorLoom fabric designs are handprinted or hand-woven by master craftsmen in India. We have been working with the same weavers and printers for over 25 years.
Our Fabric...
Our prints, yard dyed stripes, checks and solids are made of natural fibers – cotton, and linen. All the dyes used are free of harmful chemicals. We've been delivering high quality home furnishing fabrics consistently, to manufacturers, catalogs, fabric stores and interior decorators for over 25 years.
