- These textiles are primarily used by the cattle-herding communities from arid regions of India. Initially, only the Dangasia community had inherited the knowledge and skills required for the Tangalia weave. Later various communities from Gujarat and Rajasthan such as Gurjara, Maheshwari’s and Marwadas picked up this craft, each adding their own twist to it.
- Inspired by intricate patterns on woolen skirts of women from pastoral communities in Kutch, our weavers give the fabric a contemporary look that appeals to our global community.
- The essence of Tangaliya weaving is the compositions created by colorful dots, which are simultaneously stitched on both sides of the fabric.
- Tangalia weave is an extra weft weaving technique, very similar to embroidery, but more painstaking where the pattern is inlaid in the weft and warped by hand.
- This intricate process of twisting the weft while weaving creates beautiful geometric patterns and forms, resulting in a bead-like inlay that bejewels the final fabric.
