Poof

Poof : Wildflower in Toda

The Toda shawl is an exquisitely made classical apparel. A larger version or the puthkuzhy is the traditional garment of the indigenous Todas of the Nilgiris. This renewed version showcases the GI-tagged embroidery on exceptionally drapey, lightweight and luxurious Tencel. Designed with a contemporary aesthetic, the motifs are inspired by wildflowers of the Shola forests.

Made by an indigenous woman-artisan, this work of art takes three weeks to hand-embroider and comes with a note about the maker and her photo. Read our story below.

Packed with love in a local artisan-made reusable cotton handloom Ikat bag and recycled kraft box.
