Rabari Silk Bracelet

Silk bracelets (with buttons) had been inspired in the traditional and heavy silver bracelets that Rabari women use. They are beautifully hand embroidered in the Rabari style - the unique technique to these nomads from the Kutch region of Gujarat (India) - by artisans from Kala Raksha organisation. 
 
Ethnic styles express lifestyle. They are practiced by individuals whose heritage is rooted in community rather than land, and considered cultural property.
