Tradition meets edginess on this Kediya, cut and hand-stitched by a Rabari artisan that beautifully contrasts with the symphonic rhapsody of visual texture and color on mulberry silk. 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.
