Description
The Coolie range is inspired by the childhood memories of Anand Prakash and his long-distance travel on Indian Railways. What he couldn’t ever miss were the porters in their red shirts and gold armbands. There was something about the red and the gold and it has inspired him to bring out this whimsical range as an ode to Indian Railways aka भारतीय रेल

The cover is bound in red cotton textile with the words "कुली" embossed in the corner. The first and the last inside pages have an old image from the Indian Railways hand printed in black and white by the silkscreen method. Each notebook comes with a complimentary bookmark in the shape of a brass armband worn by porters across railway stations in India.
The pages are made from recycled jute fibre and have not been treated with any colour or dye; they get the off-white shade naturally while the jute rags are being beaten into pulp to make the paper.
