Handmade Kutchi Embroidery – A Timeless Art from the Heart of Kutch

Experience the richness of tradition with Handmade Kutchi Embroidery, a beautiful and vibrant craft from the Kutch region of Gujarat, India. Known for its intricate patterns, bold colors, and mirror work, Kutchi embroidery is more than just stitching—it’s a living expression of cultural heritage, passed down through generations.

Each piece is painstakingly hand-embroidered by skilled artisans, often women from rural communities who use a needle and thread to weave stories inspired by nature, daily life, and folklore. The designs include geometric patterns, floral motifs, peacocks, elephants, and detailed mirror work that catches the light and adds a magical sparkle.

The embroidery is typically done on cotton or silk fabric, using vibrant threads like red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The unique feature of Kutchi work is its bold texture and 3D effect, created using stitches such as herringbone, chain stitch, and buttonhole stitch, often combined with tiny mirrors (shisha work) for a dazzling finish.

• Home décor (cushion covers, wall hangings)

• Bags, clutches, and accessories
