The Creation Process

2112 Saldon begins in Phyang, a Ladakhi village where women weavers warp looms with nambu sheep wool beneath snow‐bright skylines. Working in cooperative clusters, they revive centuries‐old twill patterns, recasting them in fresh palettes dyed with local roots and river stones. Some warps glint with Assam's rare muga silk, flown across the Himalayas to mingle desert warmth with eastern lustre. Silhouettes may recur-boxy jackets, cocoon shawls, fluid trousers-but each bolt is singular, recording a season's mood and the hand that wove it. Produced in tiny editions, every 2112 Saldon piece honours land, livelihood, and the quiet luxury of time.
