The Arp Camo fabric is 3sixteen's best representation of traditional Indian handcraft yet. For the base fabric, they sourced a beautiful khadi cotton canvas with a tight, uniform weave that has a hint of the quintessential irregularity. Khadi is a hand loomed fabric central to India’s heritage. It uses stubby hand spun yarns that are then hand loomed into a beautifully irregular fabric. The fabric is then printed with a bold camouflage that 3sixteen designed based on the artwork of Hans Jean Arp. Each shape in the camo is reminiscent of a piece of Arp’s work, whether it be a collage, sculpture, or painting. Individual wood blocks are hand carved for each color and then carefully stamped, which gives the dynamic, slightly off-register print.
