THE STORY
Evocative of a thousand wildflowers in blossom, Kotpad or 'Pata' is a traditional craft from the hamlet town of Koraput, Odisha. The peculiarity of this authentic craft collection ‘Pata’, is that its magnificent hues can only be dyed in the winter using locally-sourced natural dyes like roots of the Indian madder or aal. This excerpt of stoles, shawls and sarees has been handwoven by tribal artisans from the Mirgan community, under the guidance of master weaver Padmashree Gobordhan Panika.
