Hand woven Dupattas from Natural Aloe Vera and wood fibres - Product review 2

Here is a breathtaking collection of Dupatta;s hand woven from Natural Aloe Vera and wood fibres. This collection brings out a centuries old weaving tradition from Madurai district in Tamil Nadu which is nearly extinct.
This weave was originally used to put together textiles for the priestly class only.
Our collection this time combines this weave with contemporary and traditional embroidery from different parts of the country.
