India’s textile heritage is world-renowned for its wealth of design, as well as for the use of vibrant colour and traditional craftsmanship. The range of textiles created in India today is wide, with examples such as woven, embroidered, and quilted fabrics showcasing the fact that there has been an element of traditional textile art within Indian culture for many years.

A look at what is Itokri Fabric?

Itokri Fabrics are a group of traditional Indian hand-woven and hand-spun textile products produced by domestic artisans. The term Itokri means a collection or set of authentic, culturally rooted fabrics, made in an original style with unique design or embellishments characteristic to that region, and made to the highest quality standards. All Itokri Fabrics; however, include cotton (hand-loom woven); block print produced by hand; as well as colour (naturally dyed).

What makes Itokri Fabrics so unique

It is the human touch that is put into the creation of each fabric. When a textile is made by hand rather than by machine, it will contain very small variations which make each item an individual piece of art, contributing to its own special character and appeal.
