Handloomed and handwoven cotton dupatta
In stock
This cotton dupatta is handwoven in Bhujodi village, Kutch, Gujarat, India, using the traditional craft technique of extra-weft weaving. In this intricate process, an additional weft yarn is introduced with a shuttle to create patterns and motifs that have the delicate, dimensional appearance of embroidery.
The stole is woven with carefully dyed yarn on a handloom, bringing together skilled craftsmanship, traditional techniques, and the distinctive character of handwoven textiles. Each piece is unique and reflects the artistry of the weaver.
