This cropped jacket is crafted from a handwoven Rabari or nomadic shawl. This shawl takes approximately 3 days to weave from a wool blend. After being woven, it is then beautifully hand embroidered by women of the tribe. This intricate embroidery is done using threads and tiny mirrors with the help of needles and tweezers.
The jacket has a round neck with embroidery in the front, the sleeves and in the back. The entire jacket is made from a single shawl with tiny handmade pom-poms on the hem. It is open in the front and is 26 inches long.
Please note - this jacket does not have a lining and the embroidery threads are visible on the inside. This is done to protect the original method in which the Rabari tribal women embroidered the fabric and as proof of it's handmade nature.
Due to the handmade nature of this item, the colours on the embroidery may vary.
