The classic Malabar collection takes inspiration from the ancient art of Indian hand-block printing, where designs were skilfully carved onto wooden blocks and natural dyes were used to print them onto fabrics. Printed onto 100% sustainably-sourced BSI cotton, Malabar is an eco-friendly fabric collection with a simple, handcrafted feel.

Perfectly Imperfect
Woven from BSI cotton yarns, the eco-friendly Malabar collection fits perfectly with ILIV’s ethos to reduce their impact on the environment. Each design is expertly printed onto 100% sustainably-sourced slubbed cotton base cloth. Slubbed cotton is beautifully unique, it features an interesting textured appearance giving it a handmade, vintage feel. Slight imperfections are created by twisting the cotton prior to the weaving process which results in a fabric that is full of character and charm - the perfect backdrop for a collection that celebrates artisan design.

Artisan Inspired
Inspired by the ancient art of Indian hand-block printing, the Malabar collection replicates the age-old process of hand-printing patterns onto textiles using carved wood blocks to produce simple designs with a true artisan feel. The key designs feature decorative leaf, scroll, and eye-catching ogee prints, with more structured stripes and simple spots available as coordinating fabrics. Malabar offers easy mix-and-match coordination in ten inspiring colour stories, ranging from traditional and bold Indian dye-inspired shades to brighter more contemporary tones.
