The clever arrangement of clamp-dyed bands of color on the sleeves gives a natural sense of elegance to the complex style of the hand-stitched Kediya.

The Kediya cut and hand stitched by a Rabari artisan in the traditional way. As pastoralists the Rabari woman was highly and widely skilled- from herding to maintaining a household on the move to making clothes and embroidery for the entire family. This kediya is filled with minute details typical of folk clothing- strings, pockets, tiny gathers and clever reinforcements.This iconic folk pattern is combined with a very comtemporary textile in pursuit of new directions.

Care instructions : Gentle wash in cold water.
