2167 Orissa Tribal Koraput Kotpad Shawl GORGEOUS Natural Dyes
Recently-made Orissa Tribal Shawl
From Koraput / Kotpad district
Hand woven cotton
Absolutely amazing natural dye
The tribe is small, the production is very limited and it is not possible to walk into a store and find these textiles. These can be acquired only in state or NGO sponsored exhibitions when the tribes people come out to sell a batch that has been produced over the previous few months. The weaves are sold in the metro cities 2-3 times a year direct to the handloom-loving elite of India.
Within the batches that they bring out to sell, this particular type is rare.
This is not old - made post 2000.
Washing Instruction: Dry Clean only
