Reminiscent

Reinterpreting the fragrance industry, Reminiscent is a unique experimental sensorial collection, that uses natural ways to integrate and infuse scents into handmade textiles. Fragrant roots and scent-coated yarn dyed with earth pigments are embroidered and hand-woven using fragrance as a form of embellishment. Reminiscent explores how scents can be expressed visually through color, patterns, and textures using textiles as aromatherapy to condense time and distance and create an immersive experience to reconnect with nature, nostalgia, home, and identity.

Pallavi’s work is guided by culture and craft, taking inspiration from nature and her surrounding landscape for color and patterns and innovating with natural materials. Her design practice strongly believes in the philosophy of respecting craftsmanship, the handmade, and the slow. She received her MFA in Textiles from Parsons School of Design and is currently based in New York. Her collection Reminiscent was featured in Mental Floss, Colossal, The Times of India, and Exhibited at New York Textile Month in 2021 and the Delaware Contemporary in 2022.
