The Kediya is a traditional wrap-around jacket or overshirt worn by men of the Rabari community in Kutch, Gujarat. Exemplifying the seamless blend of culture, functionality, and fashion, this garment is both practical and symbolic. Typically made from lightweight, hand-spun cotton, the Kediya is predominantly white to reflect the desert heat and is tailored for ease of movement. What sets the Kediya apart is its detailed hand stitching, often executed using the Bakhiya (backstitch) technique, and richly adorned with vibrant embroidery.
Embroidered on hand spun cotton with cotton thread.
