Weaving heritage: Pakistani brand turns textile waste into timeless fashion

ISLAMABAD: In Pakistan’s southern Sindh province, women work cotton scraps into a traditional form of textile art, called Rilli, a vivid patchwork quilt or bedspread, as they gather in small courtyards of rural homes after long days in the fields. These women share stories, of love, hardship and resilience, as each stitch turns the fabric waste into heirlooms. It was this spirit of storytelling through sustainable traditional craft that drove Sana Khan to launch, ‘Earthy Murkey,’ a brand of handbags made from discarded fabrics and leather.
