GRASS GREEN DOLABEDI SILK

The extra weft wound on “Nari” is used to develop tribal motifs like fish

Then these maroon bandha threads are set as the warp in a powerloom

This chequered off white cotton kotpad fabric is true joy as it falls beautifully on your skin and its earthy fragrance mesmerises the soul

while also helping marginalised yet culturally rich Odisha's talented palm leaf artisans to survive and indeed prosper
