The beginning
The chatter of the guests and the enticing aroma of food permeate the air, but she is distracted by more exciting visions. A flash of green, the touch of silk.
The subtle glint of a tiny mirror. Loops, knots and ridges of embroidery. While most other people were focused on sampling the food and exchanging scandalous gossip, a certain young lady is absorbed in the way textiles move and breathe - texture, color, workmanship - nothing is lost to her eyes that are so eager for detail.
And thus, amidst all the chaos, love and colors of the many weddings, christenings, Urapeers and family gatherings of Kerala, the dream was born, the seed of an idea planted. The fabulous clothing range now known as 'Tina Eapen' is the fulfilment of that handcrafted dream - the work of a young woman who followed her passion for clothing from the living rooms and reception halls of Kerala and presented them to the world.
Like the best of dreamers, Tina thrives in making every piece of her work unique. Not one element of the clothing is left to mass-producing machine work or store-bought ease. The evidence lies in the process behind the creation of each of these masterpieces - the saree you hold in your hand may have travelled to as many as four different parts of the country before reaching the level of perfected finished product.
Tina's passion lies at working from the grass-root level and she enjoys employing the aid of artisans and weavers from remote areas. Much time and effort goes into mixing her fabrics - ensuring the weave is perfect, the colours one-of-a-kind. Often, she combines different yarns to make unique blends. Always experimenting, she ensures that not a single piece of clothing is dull or commonplace.
Keeping with the spirit of her old memories, that first spark of inspiration which blazed a trail of creative energies, she has been working with traditional craftsmen and artisans for years. Organic raw materials and natural fabrics fascinate her and often form the base line for her clothing range.
She also tries to incorporate styles and skills from across the country, weaving and printing in Bhagalpur, Chanderi, Jaipur and Kalahasthi. To add even more intricacy to her work, she always adds a personal finishing touch –unique packaging, tiny tassels and different little embellishments to ensure that what you wear is a truly individual piece.
