Introduction about Rabari Community and Work :

Vagadiya Rabari embroidery is one of the marked techniques of surface ornament tension of kachchh district of Gujrat state. Which is done by Vagadiya Rabari community women.

Rabari is one of the nomadic caste of kachchh district. In present three sub group of Rabari’s dwell in kachchh. The three sub group are as: (1) Kachchhi Rabari (2) Dhebariya Rabari and (3) Vagadiya Rabari. The embroidery identifies the sub group of Rabari. Style of Rabari embroidery varies from sub group to sub group. Each one of them Vagadiya Rabari has different and distinct embroidery style. The tight, orderly, stitching and complex pattern of design and color revel the subtle sophistication of their imagination. Vagadiya Rabari’s women sew their colorful dreams with the help of needle in barren kachchh.

Irrespective of subgroup, Rabaari men and women lead a nomadic life in search of pasture with their sheep and their camels.

Rabaari craftswomen make profuse use of embroidery. They embroider their own clothing and their children's as well. They embroider certain garments worn by men as well as home decorations and a variety of bags. Camels are also adorned with a number of embroidered decorations.

The embroidery seen on women and children is big, bold and vigorous. It uses mainly the saankdi stitch to create stylized motifs that are large and bold. Two colours white and yellow feature prominently. Spike-like details called doont encase and highlight the motifs. Medium to large mirrors of varied shapes feature in abundance As do colourful trims and accessories such as beads, shells and buttons

The most common motifs are bird and animal motifs, flower inspired motifs and the figurative motif of the mahalwari, the milkmaid. There is also the combo, the tree of life motif and the ardho chandar, the half-moon motif.

They mainly used bright gaudy colors like red, yellow, green, saffron in their embroidery work to bring some life to the dull desert land and make them forget their hardship.

In the early 1990s, elders of the Dhebariya Rabaari subgroup decided that the women would no longer practise embroidery for personal use. They could embroider to earn an income. But the practice of embroidering their clothing and household items was banned.

The women explain the reasons for this:

When a girl got married, she had to take her aanu (trousseau) with her; she would not go to her husband's family home until it was ready.

Our girls used to spend years and years doing embroidery for their aanu. And so the girls remained in their parental homes and did not join their husbands even when they reached the age of 30 or 35.

Also, it was very expensive. Not all families can afford a lavish aanu. Is it right to send some of our daughters to their in-laws with a big aanu and other daughters with only a small one?

Now nobody can create aanu - now it is equal.

Sometimes they feel bad that their daughters will never wear embroidery clothing. But girls and women have found a way to make their clothing look beautiful. They use fabrics with bright designs; they use ready-made colourful borders. So they don't feel that they have not worn embroidery.

This does not mean that they have forgotten embroidery. they still embroider to earn money. Rabari pepole say, Our day goes well if we embroider, People recognize our community from our embroidery. We take order of embroidery. we improve our houses, use it to get our daughters married...

A Classy And Artsy Return Gifts

Admittedly, return gifting is an art and forte to express your personality, mindset, love, and connection you share with the person you are returning the gift as an expression of gratitude. In today’s world of online stores and easy internet availability, people are now being able to explore new gifting ideas. Chocolates, gadgets, clothing, craft, fashion, and handicrafts are some popular return gifts people opt for.

The idea of writing an article for return gifts crossed my mind, as one of my confused cronies called me a few weeks back asking for some ideas from me for a return gift, she wanted to return a gift on her anniversaries to her friends and relatives. Though I was too blank what to suggest to my bezzie for return gifts, all of sudden an idea struck my mind and that worked magically.

I suggested she gift fashion craft, to give it as a return gift. I shared the link of CraftnFashion.com, an online store, having a wide range of craft clothing of different clothing styles.

She was so impressed by the collection, and at last, she decided to give Gujarati embroidery jackets, as a return gift to all the ladies. When did I ask her why she chose these Gujarati embroidery jackets? She told me that the reason behind choosing it was her inclination towards arts. The Gujarati embroidery jacket is a perfect blend of art, craft, and clothing.

As per her views, the artwork is appealing and the designs of the jackets are perfect for every age group and body structure. The artwork and design are both vibrant and sophisticated making it perfect to pair with any type of attire. Whether it is casual or formal outing, traditional or western attire, the Gujarati embroidery jackets can be paired and carried anywhere and anytime. It amazed me how deeply and seriously people think about the gifts before giving them to their loved ones?

The Indian culture and its rich heritage are all enriched with endured art, heritage and culture. Indians, have a conscious and unconscious inclination towards craft and fashion clothing. We have now incorporated the crafted clothing in mainstream fashion and it is now not reserved for only special occasions, craft fashion is now carried by fashionistas as routine wear from the office to casual outings.

Craft clothing can be amalgamated with any casual or traditional attire, making it look more beautiful and vibrant. The craft fashion can make any boring attire or dress go look extravagant and glamorous.

Besides Gujarati embroidery jackets, you can go for handmade Kutchi embroidery lehenga-choli, embroidered bohemian jackets, mirror artwork jackets, bohemian maxi, boho skirts, embroidered tunic, Kurti, and many more clothing styles to give it as a return gift.

The best part of giving such craft clothing as a return gift, it expresses your artsy personality and it makes the receivers think that you have made a strong effortless effort to get such authentic and unique gift for them- as these days it is very difficult to get authentic and designer craft fashions.

But now, it is just a click away. If you are searching for a unique designer traditional wear or craft clothing having artistic work, vibrant colors, and glamorous stylish designs. Then you must land your selection on the wide range of craft clothing designed by CraftnFashion with exclusive designs and artwork.
