FAMOUS KUTCHI EMBROIDERY




Think of Gujarat and vivid images flash into your mind… exciting garbage, and camels decorated in great runs, all with colorful embroideries. Gujarat is one of the major contributors to India’s image as a colorful country.



Every raw personality identity, from geometric sharks to intricate soofs and briar-inspired rubbers, is woven into the stitching of this embroidery. Things that are seen in everyday life; Flowers and shrubs, peacocks and ostriches, housewives and pastoral men are all sources of inspiration for this beautiful design.




Kucchi women embroider everything from textiles to wall hangings, torans, bedspreads, bags, and camel decorations. Gujarat’s characteristic mirror work is thought to have originated from the use of natural mica found in the desert. It is now so widely used that local towns like Kapadwanj in Gujarat produce mirror glass specifically for this purpose.
Beautiful bold colors, combinations that an accomplished designer would be afraid to use, are effortlessly arranged in harmony by women for whom embroidery is another part of their daily routine. Women have been sewing and embroidering their clothes for centuries and have mastered the skills of color and composition. Traditionally, the embroidery was reserved for more personal use and dowry or gifts, but now it is bringing color and whimsy to our homogeneous mass-produced urban market.




These intense, contrasting colors and reflective mirrors breathe life into the stark, arid environment of Kutch. To think, they add some much-needed pizzazz to our clone silhouettes in the concrete maze.
