The rhododendron arboreum of the Nilgiris is block printed across this stole in deep crimson and navy. Toda embroidery motifs are scattered across — the geometric language of the Toda indigenous community, worked in navy and red by our Toda women artisans.
Crafted from custom-woven fine linen, the fabric is light, airy and fluid, draping beautifully against the body.
This piece is part of Nilgiri Flora · Three Flowers — our first exploration of block print and Toda embroidery meeting in cloth, two crafts brought together for the first time by these mountains.
