Dori or Ropes have always meant to tie things together with different types of knots and thats it? Is that all their potential was? Only used for its function ? What happens when you let this dori move freely, give it the freedom to find its path, release it of its tension and a chance to mark its prints as a guide to others? 
It creates a beautiful story of its own, not bound and defined by its function but its exploration and ups and downs along its path.

This is not about the dori. Its a representation and a reminder that mark your own path and discover your own strengths through challenges only faced by you.

I personally could never associate red with anger, danger and caution, rather this is what I see red for:

Passion - This red, to one might seem very loud, and passion needs to be loud, emitting its full intent. What passion if it doesnt make you feel alive, brings the urge to completely pour yourself into it and not shy away from truly showing why you passionate about certain things? This red does exactly that - does not shy away. 
Warmth - For the marward man coming from geographical conditions of marward, extremes is his comfort and comfort brings warmth. This red to one might be extreme but for a man so familiar with these extremes - its mere warmth. 

On my recent trip to Kochi, I noticed a rather interesting practice:

Fishing nets - small pieces of this net was being attached to the main net by the fishermen at places where it had been torn. While they were joining these pieces, they left the raw edges unfinished and every time that net took a dip the raw edges became more prominent, creating quite a visual to see. 

This observation inspired the raw edges on this jacket and the cowrie shells since its a beach side story.
