A-Look-At-The-History-Of-Woodblock-Printing-Crafting.jpg
 

Kashish is the urdu word meaning "attraction". Staying true to that, Kashish was born. A small brand based in Athens, Greece creating unique and alluring one-of-a-kind clothes. Using unique techniques Kashish combines traditional Indian patterns with modern Greek motifs creating effortless sillouettes that celebrate summer all year long.

We consider ourselves members of a family and we take pride in the the clothes we make, the ways we create, and last but not least the people we work with.

 
 

Our design process

At Kashish we believe in respecting the earth we were given and remaining closely connected to the environment we live in. Below you can read more about our approach and our design process.

We create seasonless clothing that can be used and loved for many years.

All our garments are hand printed using the ancient technique of woodblock printing. Woodblock printing on textiles is the process of printing patterns, by means of incised wooden blocks. It is the earliest, simplest and slowest of all methods of textile printing. Block printing by hand is a slow process. It is, however, capable of yielding highly artistic and unique results.

We also source only cotton for our garments. Cotton is a natural product and because of the way it is designed and manufactured, it has many advantages, such as its ability to control moisture, insulate, provide comfort and it is also hypo-allergenic, weatherproof and durable.

We use exclusively natural/non-chemical vegetable dyes. This way we can help with the health and safety of our partners, the comfort of our customers and the future of our planet.

At Kashish we fight to create a more fair and sustainable world. These are some of our actions aiming at that.

Gender equality:
