ABOUT
Looking for something truly unique and special to add to your home decor? Look n o further! These cushion covers and table runners from Nagaland are handmade on traditional loin looms, and each piece boasts its own motifs and patterns representing different tribes of Nagaland. Nagaland, located in North-East India, is home to 16 primary clans and a few sub-clans, each with its own customs, dresses, and vernacular languages. The emblematic dresses of each clan are a significant part of the family and town's identity, with some designs created to celebrate specific events. The striking, unmistakable geometric weaves and themes reveal the wearer's details in the tribal system. In fact, in earlier times, weaving, spinning cotton yarn, and coloring were considered essential for an eligible young woman. The portable Naga loin loom, used in Nagaland for centuries, has a back strap with a continuous horizontal warp. The woven cloth tends to have a ribbed texture. As the width is relatively narrow, two to three pieces are generally stitched together to create a larger fabric. This collection is made by economically marginalized rural women in Nagaland, who have been carrying on the tradition of weaving for generations using one of the oldest and simplest devices - the loin loom.
