 Historically, it is said that Kutch embroidery was brought about by 'Kathi cattle breeders’. Eventually, these wanderers settled down and produced some fine needlework. The art form became a vocation for women of Kutch which became a generational art with the skills taught from mother to daughter. The signature effect of the colorful embroidery sparkles when small mirrors called abhle are sewn over the designs. A lot of the Kutch embroidery is influenced by various architectural designs and motifs. Gurarat, mid 20c.
