Description
An Anokhi scaft of lightweight cotton - blue, green and white flower pattern - with bead fringe on the short ends. Plus a matching cloth bag (cosmetic bag size). Made in India
Anokhi is well known for its success in preserving and revitalizing traditional textile skills, and for its involvement with educational and social projects in Rajasthan, India, where the company is based and its products produced.
Anokhi hand block printing, on the highest quality pure cotton, begins with handmade teak printing blocks. For each scarf pattern, the printer designs from one to thirty print blocks, each of which takes two days to carve.
Printers stamp every three-meter block of cloth approximately one thousand times. All the embroideries and decorative stitching are
done by hand, mostly by the Meghwal community in the district of Barmer, in the Thar desert region of Northwest India.
Anokhi also houses a museum
