Applique (Khatwa) – GI Certified Traditional Stitch Art of Bihar | Heritage Textile Craft
Product Description (Long):
Applique Work, locally known as Khatwa, is a GI-certified textile craft from Bihar, known for its vibrant patchwork, intricate hand stitching, and cultural symbolism. Practiced mainly in Darbhanga and surrounding regions, this art involves cutting colorful fabrics into motifs—like flowers, animals, and folk patterns—and skillfully stitching them onto a base cloth to create decorative or functional items.
Rooted in the rural lifestyle and festival traditions of Bihar, Khatwa is a symbol of both creativity and sustainability. The materials used are often reclaimed cotton or khadi, stitched together by women artisans using age-old techniques.
Perfect for cushion covers, wall hangings, bedsheets, tote bags, sarees, and more, this handcrafted art brings color, culture, and craft into your home.
