This woollen shawl has been fashioned in Kutch, a region in Gujarat known for the signature textiles produced by local artisans. Woven from pure homegrown wool, it has been tie-dyed in a combination of black dominating over a splash of sunset red and yellow (this technique is called bandhani in the local language). Matching tassels grace the edge of the shawl, along which have been woven panels of simple, pale blue miniscule motifs. Drape this over your everyday Indian suit or saree, or throw this across your shoulders on the milk run.
