Rubia & Neel is a brand born out of passion for sustainability, natural dyes, and high-quality fabrics. In this collection, the designer aims to create a slow, seasonless style — allowing users to layer up in cold seasons, thereby extending the lifespan of the clothing.
Founder Julie Cole has nearly two decades of experience in the field of Indian fashion design, shuttling back and forth between India for her work. Rubia and Neel’s products are manufactured in India. In the Indian language, “Rubia” means red, and “Neel” means indigo, representing the brand’s foundational colours.
In addition to colours derived from natural Indian dyes and traditional techniques like Jamdani weaving, the brand also emphasises the creation of products with the warmth of hand-craftsmanship, including hand weaving and hand stitching. The simple yet warm designs and comfortable textures provide wearers with a gentle and relaxed experience.
＊Jamdani Woven Patterns
Originating from Bengal in northeastern India, using fine cotton yarn and woven on traditional handlooms. Weavers intricately interlace the yarn into the delicate base fabric, creating intricate and soft patterns. Known for its complexity and elegance, Jamdani features scattered or diagonal floral motifs, with identical patterns on both sides of the fabric. Traditionally used in the sarees worn by women in India and Bengal, it was once exclusively reserved for royal nobility, acclaimed for its ethereal lightness and clarity. Recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic value, Jamdani weaving has been inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
＊Quilting
A traditional sewing technique dating back to the 15th century, quilting uses stitches with different patterns to secure the outer fabric and the cotton-filled layer. Clothing crafted with quilting retains the warmth characteristic of traditional padded garments while avoiding the bulky feel associated with filled materials. The quilted pattern gives the garment’s surface a semi-relief effect, combining texture, layers, and three-dimensionality.
