Tie and dye, a technique of dying fabrics finds its roots in various parts of south east Asia and can go back over a 1000 years. Typically called Leheriya, Bandhani or Bandhej in Rajasthan, it really means waves.
The multi hued colorful strips of design are created by first rolling damp fabric diagonally from end to end, like a tightened rope, and then tying and dying the fabric in parts, with different shades of colors.
The color shades used could vary from 2 to 9. All hand dyed and hand stitched to create this magical palette of stunning color.
Handmade Gifts of grace and substance.

Accessorize your cool attitude with a range of inimitable handmade khadi stoles, each just one of its kind. What is sold cant be reproduced. Go ahead, brag about your stolens. This collection in pure cotton is from the cottage weavers of Orissa, Karnataka and Bengal, each unique in their own local inspiration of bygone eras. Eco friendly and carbon neutral, add substance to your stature.
From the humble beginnings of the call of Mahatma Gandhi began a movement of self-sustainability, dignity of hand work and inclusive growth. A movement of epic proportions. A movement called khadi. A hundred years on, millions of hands in unlit hamlets across the gut of India sustain the spirit of this movement, spinning the magic of yarn into awesome fabrics, in pure warm wool, incredible silks and baby soft cottons. Ecologically and ethically aligned, khadi upholds the spirit of reducing our carbon foot print where the use of low, or no energy alternatives, is its mantra. Anything that you may adorn will not only add to the pride of your collection, but fuel the fire of an artisan's home and help make our world a better place for all.
