Book a stylist call · 20 minutes · with Ketki
Twenty minutes, one piece at a time.
Before the loom is booked, we have a conversation. Twenty minutes, video or phone. You tell me the occasion, the wardrobe you're working with, the piece you're imagining. I tell you whether we should commission it, or whether the next collection might be a better fit. There is no commission for the call — only for the cloth.
What to bring
A sense of the date, the colour you're drawn to, a photograph if you have one — pulled from an old wedding album, a magazine, a cousin's reel. Nothing polished. The call is for working it out together, not for presenting a brief.
What to expect
Ketki on the call herself — no junior, no script. She asks more than she answers in the first ten minutes.
Where the call lands
Melbourne atelier, video on Google Meet or WhatsApp, or phone if you prefer your camera off.
After the call
A short written follow-up: two or three pieces she'd commission for you, the loom-weeks each would take, no pressure to proceed.
About the call
Three things, before you write.
Twenty minutes is enough
We're not selling a piece in the call. We're deciding whether to commission one.
No pressure either way
If the call ends with 'not the right time,' that is a good answer. The atelier is small enough to wait.
From Melbourne, by way of Banaras
I take the call from the Melbourne atelier. The cloth comes from the clusters. Lead time at the loom is 4–8 weeks if we do commission.
From Ketki
“I'd rather spend twenty minutes with you now than have us both guess wrong at the loom. Write — even if you're not sure yet.”
