I am a fashion designer, based in US and will be visiting India in the 3rd week of Jan 2007. I was wondering if you could help me get in touch with local karigars in Hyderabad or Delhi area who specialise in making handbags and purses with embroidery, beads, sequins, gemstones. Can you suggest someone who might be willing to help me maunufacture my designs?
I'll really appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Rachna M

Gopal and Teju
I am looking for a book of drawings by the Indian artist Gopal that was featured in an article on your site, Gopal and Teju. I believe the book was published in Germany. Can you help me find a copy?
Thanks. Nancy Rankin in New York City

Dhoyal wall hanging
Posted by CRT on behalf of our readers
"We have had in our possession for over 10 years, a wall hanging measuring about 2 meters by 1 1/2 meters that has a label on the back which reads:-
Dhoyal : Traditional Thar Desert Bedcover made from hand embroidered bodices worn by women & presented as wedding gifts.
I can find no appropriate references to the word "Dhoyal" on the internet.
Could you please advise if you have any knowledge of this or perhaps the word has been spelled incorrectly?"

Textile workshops / design
Posted by CRT on behalf of our readers
"I will be visiting India sometime in December and am interested in planning visits to some of the textile oriented workshops. I would like to investigate the possibilities of putting my own fashion designs into production there, but using traditional textiles and fair trade labor practices. I have tried contacting individual NGO's but without much luck. Can you suggest someone who might be willing to speak with me about the best way to approach my upcoming trip?"

Vintage silk brocade
Posted by CRT on behalf of our readers
"I am a new fashion designer and I am looking to buy/commission vintage silk brocade from Varanasi. I am looking for quite antique designs. I don't seem to be able to find a correct telephone number for NGOs or relevant ones. I hope you can help."
