About Craft

Patchwork craft is the art of sewing the patches of cloth in different geometrical shapes, together to form a textile pattern. It flourished across the world via nomadic clans, and each region retains its design uniqueness.

The history of Indian patchwork can be traced back to the times when native communities of Gujarat stitched canopies and tents for ox carts. It has been passed over for generations, and today is a favoured process for making various textiles.

The craftsman behind these fun pieces started at the young age of 12, out of necessity. With only his mother at his side helping him with stitching. Upon figuring out manufacturing, he put in his efforts into learning design aesthetics. Today, his is an enterprise that brings together extended family and persons from adjoining villages. In this collection, he uses the famous Ajrakh prints of Kutch and Mashru silk fabric to give a contemporary edge to the designs.
