Curator’s Note

On cotton Chanderi fabric, Mata ni Pachhedi takes on a softer and more luminous presence, where ritual painting meets a cloth known for lightness and ease. The result is a stole that carries devotion, handwork, and visual memory in a form that feels both elegant and deeply grounded.

Product Note
A light, graceful cotton Chanderi stole carrying the quiet strength of Mata ni Pachhedi, hand-drawn onto cloth with fine linework and narrative detail. Traditionally known as the sacred textile art of Gujarat, Mata ni Pachhedi has long carried stories of devotion, protection, community, and memory.

Here, the form moves from shrine cloth to wearable textile. The stole keeps the delicacy of Chanderi while holding the presence of hand-drawn art, making it a piece that feels both rooted and contemporary.

Wear it as a stole, drape it over a plain kurta, layer it with a dress, or let it rest over the shoulders like a soft painted panel.

Craft Note
Mata ni Pachhedi is a visual tradition from Gujarat, historically created as a sacred textile painting. Known for its storytelling compositions, bordered layouts, symbolic forms, and fine hand-drawn detail, the art carries both ritual and narrative significance.

Each stole is drawn by hand, allowing the linework, spacing, and small variations to remain visible. These are not printed reproductions. They carry the presence of the hand, the rhythm of the artist, and the softness of cloth.

What to Notice

  • The hand-drawn detailing across the stole
  • The balance of open space and illustrated panels
  • The fine borders and narrative-style composition
  • The way the art shifts when worn, folded, or draped
  • The lightness of cotton Chanderi against the depth of the artwork

Care Note

  • Dry clean recommended
  • Do not machine wash
  • Do not soak
  • Do not bleach
  • Store folded in a clean, dry place
  • Keep away from direct harsh sunlight for long periods
  • Iron on low heat from the reverse side, preferably with a protective cloth
  • Avoid spraying perfume directly on the artwork

Styling Note
Style this stole with solid-colored clothing so the hand-drawn art can remain the focus. It works beautifully with ivory, black, rust, indigo, beige, deep red, and earthy neutrals.

It can be worn over Indian wear, layered with contemporary silhouettes, or displayed at home over a chair, console, or textile ladder when not in use.

Shipping Note
Ships from the USA.

Each stole is packed with care to protect the textile during transit. Minor folding lines may appear during shipping and can be gently eased out with proper care.

Studio Note
This is a handmade textile, and slight irregularities are part of its nature. You may notice small variations in line, spacing, color depth, or finish. These are not flaws. They are signs of handwork and make each stole individually held by the maker’s process.
