Vintage fabric cotton, mirror

Made in India

Mainly in the northwest of India
It's vintage fabric collected from Gujarat.

To put it simply, a toran is like a Japanese noren curtain.

It also has the meaning of amulet,
They are displayed at the entrance to rooms and at the front door.

If you look closely, you can see that in addition to embroidery thread and fabric, there are also small mirrors embedded in the pieces.

Because the mirror is sewn in,
This is a machine, dada-da,
That's not the case.

Taking a long, leisurely stroll,
They are made by women in the shade outside their homes.

Each piece is unique and crafted in a different way for each household, with different sizes, patterns, color combinations, and surrounding decorations.

As it is old, there are tears and fraying,
There are some stains on each item,

We hope you will also enjoy the time it takes to re-stitch or add new touches, and enjoy the texture of the item.

Rather than unifying the pieces into a single piece with a similar texture,

We recommend combining it with white lace curtains to add an accent to your room.
