Craft & Story

Kota Cotton is a lightweight, breathable fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, known for its signature checkered weave called *khats*. Made from pure cotton, it is soft, durable, and ideal for hot climates. Widely used in sarees and dupattas, Kota Cotton combines comfort with traditional elegance, making it a versatile textile choice. **Shibori** is a traditional Japanese tie-dye technique that involves folding, twisting, or bunching fabric and binding it before dyeing. The process creates intricate, often symmetrical patterns with a characteristic organic look. In India, Shibori has been adapted with natural dyes and is popular in contemporary ethnic wear for its handcrafted appeal.
