What Happens When a Pattern Leaves the Home?

As Baithak took shape, a collaboration with Kaha’ni asked us to see our colors and patterns differently.

Most of our design conversations begin with the home.

How will a pattern sit on a cushion? What happens to a color when it meets linen? How will one print live beside another without everything feeling too coordinated?

While working on Baithak, we found ourselves asking a different question.

What happens when those same colors and patterns leave the home?

We had been thinking about how Crafted Living could grow alongside our home collections, not simply by adding more things, but by finding pieces that felt useful, personal, and connected to the world we were already creating.

That thinking brought us to Kaha’ni, a women-led studio in Nagpur.

There was something about working with another small business that felt familiar from the beginning. The conversations were direct. Ideas could move back and forth. We could experiment without pretending we had every detail figured out before we started.

Together, we began exploring how the colors we had chosen for Baithak could move onto cotton pieces designed to be worn and carried.

It sounds like a simple transition. It wasn't quite.

A print behaves differently when it leaves a cushion and becomes something you wear. Scale suddenly matters in another way. A color that was considered alongside linen, a sofa, or a room now has to work with denim, a coat, or whatever happens to be in your wardrobe that morning.

The pouches brought their own questions. Here, the pattern had to meet function. The piece needed to be useful first, while still feeling connected to the collection it came from.

We began to see the Baithak palette differently.

Olive Green, Golden Ochre and Plum Purple were no longer colors we were considering only within a room. They were being folded, tied, carried and paired with everyday life.

That shift is what made the collaboration interesting to us.

We weren't trying to make smaller versions of Baithak. We wanted the pieces to belong to the same world without needing to stay in the same room.

There was another part of the collaboration that mattered to us too.

Kaha’ni is a small, women-led business, and so are we. At this scale, collaboration feels very human. The people having the conversations are close to the decisions, and the decisions are close to the making.

There is room to ask, “What if we tried this?” and actually see where the answer leads. For us, that is what Crafted Living is becoming.

A place to explore the colors, prints and ideas of The Peacock Palette beyond the textiles we began with. Sometimes that may mean something you wear. Sometimes something you carry. The connection does not have to be obvious; it simply has to feel like it belongs.

With Kaha’ni, Baithak gave us the starting point.

What came from it was a small collection of cotton scarves and pouches that carries the same palette into a completely different part of daily life.

And perhaps that has been our favorite part of the process: watching an idea move far enough from where it began to become something new, while still carrying a little of its original story with it.

This journal is a record of how The Peacock Palette came to life, one step at a time.
