Understand
Where Kutch embroidery comes from
Embroidery in Kutch varies from community to community — Rabari, Ahir, Mutwa and others each have their own stitches and motifs, traditionally made for dowry and daily wear.
How it's practiced
Women embroider by hand on cotton or wool, combining chain, satin and interlacing stitches with small mirrors held in place by thread.
