Celebrate Indian Craft

Indian Craft that we celebrate represents a rich and diverse tradition of textile arts that reflect the country’s cultural heritage and regional diversity. These crafts often involve intricate techniques, traditional motifs, and handwork that have been passed down through generations. Here’s looking into some of the key Indian Crafts in clothing:

Chikankari

Chikankari is a traditional Indian form of embroidery that originated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Known for its delicate and intricate needlework, Chikankari is often performed on lightweight fabrics such as muslin, chiffon, or georgette. This craft is characterized by its use of fine, translucent stitches and embellishments, including floral motifs, paisleys, and geometric patterns.

The embroidery involves a variety of stitches, including Tari, Zardozi, Bakhiya, Phanda, and Jaali. These stitches are used to create texture and patterns on fabric. The techniques range from simple to complex, allowing for both understated elegance and intricate designs. Each individual garment takes from a few weeks to a few months to complete.

Today, Chikankari continues to be a sought-after craft in both traditional and contemporary fashion. Designers incorporate Chikankari into modern apparel, including sarees, suits, and accessories, blending traditional artistry with current trends.

Chikankari is not just an art form but a cultural heritage of India, reflecting the craftsmanship of artisans and the historical richness of the Mughal era. It remains a symbol of grace and sophistication in Indian textiles.

Phulkari

Phulkari is a traditional form of Punjabi embroidery known for its vibrant and intricate designs. Originating from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, Phulkari, which means "flower work," is celebrated for its colorful patterns and elaborate stitching techniques.

Phulkari has been practiced for centuries in the Punjab region, with roots tracing back to the 15th century. It was traditionally performed by rural women as part of their dowry and worn on special occasions, such as weddings and festivals.

Phulkari embroidery features bold, geometric patterns and floral motifs. Designs often include flowers, leaves, and abstract shapes. The primary stitch used in Phulkari is the "Kari" stitch, where threads are worked in a darning technique to create elaborate patterns. Other stitches may include "Bachra" (stitching across the fabric) and "Teni Phulkari" (a simple floral design). These garments are made in rural households involving multiple members of the same family working over one article from weeks to months.

Phulkari represents the rich cultural heritage of Punjab, reflecting the artistic skills of rural women and their role in preserving cultural traditions. It is often associated with festive celebrations and significant life events.

Rajasthani Block Print

Block Printing is a traditional textile printing technique that uses carved wooden blocks to create designs on fabric. This age-old craft has been practiced across various Indian cultures and is renowned for its intricate patterns and artisanal quality.

The process involves carved wooden blocks, fabric (often cotton or silk), and textile dyes or pigments. A design is carved into a block of wood, which is then dipped in dye and stamped onto the fabric. This is repeated to build up the complete pattern. Multiple blocks may be used for different colors or layers in the design.

There are several styles, including Ajrakh (intricate patterns from Gujarat), Sanganeri (delicate floral designs from Rajasthan), and Bagru (traditional prints with natural dyes from Rajasthan).

Block printing is a significant part of Indian textile traditions, reflecting local artistry and craftsmanship. It represents a blend of historical techniques with modern design sensibilities.

Punjabi Jutti

The Punjabi Jutti is a traditional form of footwear from the region of Punjab, known for its distinctive design and rich cultural heritage. These handcrafted shoes, traditionally made from leather, features a rounded toe and a slip-on style, often adorned with intricate embroidery and embellishments using techniques such as zardozi (metal thread embroidery), aari (needlework), and pearl embellishments.

Historically worn by both men and women, handmade with leather, juttis were designed to provide comfort and durability for everyday use. Over time, however, these humble shoes evolved into a canvas for intricate craftsmanship and artistic expression making them associate more with festive occasions, weddings, and cultural celebrations in Punjab. They symbolize a deep connection to Punjabi traditions and artistry.

In recent years, the jutti has gained global popularity, evolving into a fashionable accessory while retaining its traditional charm. Contemporary designs continue to celebrate its cultural roots, blending classic craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

The Juttis we bring to you uses 100% genuine leather, made by hand using traditional ways with modern designs making them highly durable and aesthetically appealing. The Punjabi jutti stands as a beautiful representation of Punjabi heritage and a stylish element in a modern attire.

Our Vision

We will keep on adding and celebrating more crafts from different parts of India. Join us and together we will keep alive the age old traditions and vibrant crafts of India by supporting the artisans who for generations have kept on working on these crafts but still struggle to make ends meet. As we grow we will strive to reduce middlemen and source directly from artisans so that they get fair share for their hard work.

Warmest regards,
