This beautiful hand-embroidered evening bag is done by the Haalepotra and Meghwaad Maarwaada communities, which practice eight styles of embroidery. They are best known for their Khudi-Tebha and Kambiro embroidery. The origin of these two styles can be traced to the traditional practice of recycling old garments, wherein the simple running stitch was used to join pieces of fabric that still had some life left in them. So neatly and uniformly did the women embroider the functional running stitch that over years and generations, it emerged as a decorative element with the potential to create elaborate motifs and designs.
