One of India’s most enduring artistic traditions is its myriad forms of embroidery. Every state and region boasts of its own style, but needlework is not merely a means of ornamentation. The fabrics are also threaded with stories of the community, with motifs emerging from its natural surroundings, economic state and sociopolitical milieu. As handmade items are reclaimed as new embodiments of luxury, many of these old, and sometimes forgotten, embroidery styles are being revived and popularized. These techniques are popular not only among designers in India but also with international labels. Belgian designer Dries van Noten has worked with embroiderers in Kolkata for decades, and Mumbai is a trade hub for a number of luxury brands seeking Indian embroidery. Labels like Gucci, Valentino, Alberta Ferretti, Maison Margiela and Christian Dior work with the Mumbai-based embroidery firm Chanakya, while Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace and Michael Kors have collaborated with another firm, Adity Designs, also in Mumbai. #antique #rabariembroidery #wallpiece #rabariwork #handembroidery #kutch #bhuj #art #craftaddict #handmade #embroiderywork #handicraftlover❤️ #handwork #craftholics #patch #walldecor #chakda #multiuse #craftshop #shoponlineindia #order #online #instashopping😍 #facebookshopping #VCraft To place an order, DM us! https://www.instagram.com/p/Byz4K1Ch21y/?igshid=1160xfakvd68x
