We have highly professional and efficient team have created wonderful
installations for all kinds of celebrations, weddings, christenings,
anniversaries, concerts, performances and yoga retreats in the UK, the
Middle East, the Caribbean, Europe and New Zealand. Our tents have also
appeared in many television programmes and films such as Nanny McPhee,
The Duchess, Bride and Prejudice and Vanity Fair.
Having been inspired by photos of historical Rajasthani tents exhibited at the museum in Mehrangarh Fort, she suggested to the Maharaja that they might together resurrect the lost art of tent making so that he could continue the tradition of tented camps created by his forbears, and as a result create employment in what was then an economically depressed state.
His Highness agreed, and Clarissa’s first commission was to
manufacture eighty Shikar tents for the camel fair at Pushkar. Tented
camps followed at Nagaur and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan as well as yoga
retreats and other projects all over India.
Clarissa met up with Nicola Marks, our current Managing Director, and together they launched Raj Tent Club in London.
We are proud to have restarted a lost industry in India and to have preserved and continued many skills that were in danger of being permanently forgotten.
