The Story
A unique handcrafted cloth woven in a natural ecru Kala cotton. Glass mirrors called Aabhla have been embroidered onto the cloth by hand. Aabhla is translated as 'bits of sky' so dress yourself in fabric that reflects the sky!
Kala cotton is a purely rain fed cotton indigenous to the kachchh region of India. It is grown in a sustainable way due to the resilient nature of the plant, the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are not needed. It forms a strong and coarse fibre that produces a uniquely textured cloth.
- Embroidered mirror - 8mm
Fiber Content: 100% Cotton
Width: 115cm / 45"
Weight: 4.1oz, 140gsm.

****PLEASE NOTE: all textiles are sold per 1/2meter/yard

- Indian handlooms are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave due to their handmade nature, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
- For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
