Sooboo Chetty is one of several handkerchief ‘manufacturers’ listed by name in the exhibition catalogue, including others with the surname Chetty. The catalogue differentiates between pieces which were 'purchased from' and which were 'manufactured by', but it remains unclear which might be the names of weavers and which might be the names of merchant traders.
