The Kutchi jacket is more than just a piece of clothing; it is a wearable piece of history that carries the soul of Gujarat’s vibrant landscape. This hand-embroidered masterpiece is designed for those who appreciate the slow fashion movement and the incredible skill of Indian rural artisans. Bathed in a deep, soulful maroon, this jacket serves as a bridge between age-old traditions and contemporary style, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
About the Craft
The art of Kutchi embroidery is a legacy passed down through generations of women in the Kutch region of Gujarat. Each stitch tells a story of community, identity and the natural world. Traditionally, these patterns were used to decorate trousseaus and festive attire, characterised by intricate threadwork and geometric precision. By choosing this jacket, you are not just wearing a garment; you are preserving a heritage craft that relies on the steady hands and keen eyes of artisans who transform simple cotton into a canvas of cultural expression.
Speciality
What sets this jacket apart is its unique ability to adapt to various moods. While it captures the energetic spirit of a Dandiya night or a Mehndi ceremony, its structured tailoring allows it to function as a statement piece for a casual evening out. The hand-done nature of the work means that no two pieces are exactly identical, giving you an exclusive garment that celebrates the beauty of human imperfection. The inclusion of the traditional hangings adds a rhythmic charm that is rarely found in mass-produced apparel.
How to Care?
To maintain the integrity of the hand-embroidery and the richness of the maroon dye, this jacket requires gentle handling. We recommend dry cleaning only to ensure the delicate threadwork does not snag and the cotton fabric retains its shape over time. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading of the natural colours.
This hand-embroidered Kutchi jacket is an invitation to embrace the ethnic roots of Indian craftsmanship. Whether you are layering it over a simple kurta or pairing it with modern denim, it brings an undeniable aura of grace and tradition to your look. It is a tribute to the artisans of Gujarat and a celebration of a style that never fades.
