White Yellow Elephants Pipli Waterproof Umbrella fabric The art in palm leaf

The art in palm leaf is inscribed with a knife pen on rectangular cut

This blouse is designed and tailored in house by us from this wonderful tribal ikat fabric

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

enabling quicker production without compromising on design—unlike the more labor-intensive handloom method
