]]> The durrie, a timeless symbol ingrained in the tapestry of Indian culture, carries with it an 800-year-old legacy of Kharaad / Kharad weaving. This tradition, rooted in the era of ancient palaces, camel herders, and nomadic wanderers, has stood the test of time. The inspiration for this craft can be traced back to the utilitarian accessories of camels and animals, where nomadic communities began adorning their creatures with both functional and artistic purpose.

]]> Dotted with a thousand tiny specks, possessing a fine crinkled texture and dyed in rich vibrant colours, ‘Bandhani’ or ‘tie and dye’ of Gujarat draws immense admiration and attention alike. This stunning piece of art is a legacy of the Gujarat Textiles industry and showcases their brilliant craftsmanship through intricate designs. The craft takes its name from ‘Bandhan’, the Sanskrit word for ‘tying’ and refers to both the technique as well as the end product. It is created by a tedious process of pinching, tying and resist dying the fabric.
