From India to the Glarus region
Sailors once brought colourfully printed scarves from India to the canton of Glarus. In this small Swiss canton, these oriental patterns were reinterpreted and printed on square cotton, primarily in red and blue. It is said that the red dye used for these cloths was originally made from cow dung.
These small cotton scarves soon became a popular export, helping the barren mountain canton to achieve what became known as the 'Glarus economic miracle'. In the 19th century, the Glarus region was one of the most important centres for printing fabrics in Europe, boasting over 20 textile printing factories.
Fasziniert von den Ursprüngen der Glarner Siebdrucktradition ist das einstige Schnupftuch nun in edler Seide und vielen unterschiedlichen Farben erhältlich. Das Paisley-Muster wird, wie vor 250 Jahren, als in Glarus der Zeugdruck florierte, im aufwändigen Siebdruckverfahren gedruckt.
