This Kala cotton stole 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.
Woven from Kala cotton, a native, rain-fed cotton traditionally cultivated in the Kutch region, the stole celebrates the natural character and texture of this distinctive fibre. Bringing together skilled craftsmanship, traditional techniques, and the distinctive character of handwoven textiles. Each piece is unique and reflects the artistry of the weaver.
