Kutchi Leather Hair-Pin

Leather hair-pin crafted by leather and embroidery artisans from Kutch region in Gujarat, India Traditionally a collaborative outcome of the Maldhari nomads’ tanning expertise and the Meghwal community’s stitching and embroidering skills. 
Geometric patterns punched out give the surface a playful, vibrant character, generally not associated with the ruggedness of thick leather. 
 
Ethnic styles express lifestyle. They are practiced by individuals whose heritage is rooted in community rather than land, and considered cultural property.
