In a world of fast fashion, handmade creations carry deep meaning. At Eternal Pehnawa, we proudly showcase appliqué work, an ancient Indian craft where fabric and thread come together to create stunning patterns.
What is Appliqué?
Derived from the French word “appliquer”, meaning “to apply,” appliqué involves stitching one fabric onto another to form intricate designs. Unlike regular embroidery, it uses layers of fabric to create texture and depth. This craft thrives in regions like Odisha, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, where artisans bring vibrant designs to life, from garments to home décor.
A Tradition with Soul
Appliqué isn’t just about design—it’s a reflection of stories, heritage, and skilled hands that pass knowledge through generations. Entire communities in the region are dedicated to this craft, creating pieces that carry history and heart. No two appliqué creations are ever alike, making each one truly special.
