Tissli – Design Philosophy

Design Philosophy

At Tissli, our design process is a dialogue—between the past and the present, between heritage artistry and modern sensibility. We draw inspiration from India’s rich architectural and textile traditions—the carved jharokhas of Amer Fort, the geometric precision of Mehrangarh battlements, Mughal floral frescoes, or the rhythmic motifs of desert stepwells and tribal embroidery.

Each silhouette you see is not just a shape—it’s a story, meticulously reimagined for the modern lifestyle.

Cotton Panja

Cotton Panja is a traditional flat-weave technique widely practiced in parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana, India. Crafted on a Panja loom using a comb-like tool to beat the weft threads into place, it produces a flat, durable, and reversible texture with crisp geometric, striped, or tribal-inspired patterns. When made with cotton yarns, the weave is lighter, more breathable, and softer than its wool counterpart. The process begins with cotton threads, taking around 10 days from shredding to yarn making, dyeing, and preparing the 20-count threads, followed by nearly 20 days of meticulous weaving. The result is a fabric rich in heritage and artistry, used in everything from dhurries, rugs, and wall hangings to bags, accessories, and home décor.

Wool Jute

A wool–jute rug is a harmonious blend of wool’s softness and insulating warmth with jute’s strength and rustic charm. Handwoven or hand-loomed, it combines the plush comfort of wool with the firm, structured texture of jute, resulting in a durable yet inviting weave. The creation begins with a 10-day process of shredding, yarn making, dyeing, and preparing the 20-count threads, followed by another 10 days of meticulous weaving by skilled artisans. Often found in natural or earthy tones, sometimes accented with dyed wool patterns, these rugs are more durable than pure wool and softer than pure jute, making them ideal for living spaces, entryways, and even upcycled into stylish accessories like bags.

Cotton Embroidery

A cotton embroidery rug combines the natural softness and breathability of cotton with intricate stitched designs created through precision machine embroidery. Made from high-quality cotton yarns, these rugs offer a smooth, comfortable texture underfoot while showcasing detailed patterns that add visual charm. The machine process ensures uniformity in design and stitching, resulting in a durable and neatly finished product. Available in a variety of colors and motifs, cotton embroidery rugs are lightweight, easy to maintain, and versatile for use in living rooms, bedrooms, or as decorative accents.

Cotton Canvas

Cotton canvas is a tightly woven, heavy-duty fabric made from 100% cotton yarns, valued for its strength, durability, and natural feel. Its firm weave gives it excellent resistance to wear and tear while remaining breathable and comfortable to the touch. Traditionally used in sails, tents, and workwear, cotton canvas has become a popular choice for bags, backpacks, upholstery, and home décor. It holds structure well, takes dyes beautifully, and can be finished with coatings for added water resistance, making it a versatile material that blends practicality with timeless appeal.

Cotton Shuttle

Cotton shuttle weave fabric is crafted using the traditional shuttle loom technique, where cotton threads are interlaced with precision to create a continuous selvedge — a clean, non-fraying edge rarely found in modern weaving. This method produces a denser, more durable fabric with a slightly vintage look, often featuring subtle irregularities that add character. The process begins with around 10 days dedicated to making the thick cotton threads, followed by another 10 days of meticulous weaving on the shuttle loom. The result is a sturdy yet soft fabric that ages beautifully, ideal for premium shirts, jackets, workwear, home textiles, and artisan-style bags.

Cotton Throw

Cotton throws are crafted from 100% cotton or a high cotton blend, making them soft, breathable, and gentle on the skin. They can be woven in a variety of styles — from plain weave, twill, and waffle textures to intricate handwoven techniques like Panja or shuttle weave. Lighter than full blankets yet warm and comforting, they often feature solid colors, stripes, checks, or detailed patterns, finished with fringed edges or tassels for added charm. Depending on the design complexity, each throw takes around 5 to 10 days to make, from yarn preparation to the final weave. Easy to wash and maintain, they grow softer with time, serving as both a cozy companion and a decorative accent for sofas, beds, and even outdoor picnics.

Flat Weave

Flat weave technology is a traditional weaving method where the weft threads are tightly interlaced through the warp without knots, creating a smooth, reversible fabric with a crisp, lightweight feel. This technique allows for sharp, defined geometric, striped, or tribal patterns, making it popular for dhurries, kilims, and modern accessories. The process begins with around 10 days of yarn preparation — from shredding to spinning, dyeing, and setting the threads — followed by another 10 to 20 days of meticulous weaving, depending on the size and complexity. The result is a durable, shape-retaining textile that resists shedding and carries a timeless artisan charm.

Hand Weave

Hand weaving is an age-old craft where skilled artisans interlace warp and weft threads entirely by hand on traditional looms, creating textiles rich in character and heritage. Each piece reflects the weaver’s precision, patience, and artistry, often carrying subtle variations that make it truly unique. The process begins with about 5 to 10 days of careful weaving, depending on the complexity of the design. The result is a durable, breathable fabric with a distinct texture, perfect for everything from rugs and throws to artisan-style bags and home décor.
