Description

Kutch hand embroidery is from the Kutch region of Gujarat, India; practiced mainly by the women from the various ethnic communities in the region. This rich and intricate hand embroidery tradition is world renowned. Each community has its own distinct stitch, motifs and patterns like Ahir, Rabari, Neran etc. that reflects their unique customs and culture, and marks their identity. These cell phone pouches are hand embroidered at QASAB; a rural women crafts collective enterprise from 11 ethnic communities spread across 65 villages in Kutch, India; channelizing traditional skills for dignified income by enhancing their centuries old cultural craft.

Mashru Handloom is a satin weave from Gujarat with Silk thread on the outer side (shiny finish) and cotton on the inner side (soothing and comfortable) resulting in a thick and heavy fabric. It is primarily used in garments, quilts and accessories. Mashru is presumed to be an Indian innovation during the Mughal empire.
