My Story

Mirror work - abhla bharat - travelled into Kutch and Rajasthan from Persia in the seventeenth century, when the discs were cut from mica and, later, from hand-blown glass spun into a dome and shattered into pieces. Because no two shards are the same, each mirror is caught in place by a ring of buttonhole stitches worked to fit it exactly, a small feat of hand-eye judgement repeated hundreds of times over one garment. It was never only decoration: in desert communities the mirrors were believed to turn away the evil eye by throwing a person’s own gaze back at them.

Wash and Care

This set mixes fabrics, so treat the pieces differently. The dupatta should be dry cleaned for the first wash, then hand washed in cold water and dried flat in the shade. The kurta and bottom can be washed in cold water with a mild detergent from the start. Do not bleach or wring. Press on a low heat with a cloth between the iron and any zari or embroidery.
