Description

Leheria is an 800 year old traditional style of tie dye practiced in Rajasthan, India that results in brightly colored and mesmerizing wavy patterns.The fabric is rolled diagonally, and then tied at the required intervals and dyed. Wave patterns result from folds made before dyeing. 

Mashru Handloom is a satin weave from Gujarat with Silk thread on the outer side (shiny finish) and cotton on the inner side (soothing and comfortable) resulting in a thick and heavy fabric. It is primarily used in garments, quilts and accessories. Mashru is presumed to be an Indian innovation during the Mughal empire.
