The distinctive style of Appliqué embroidery is a specialty of the “Darji” (Tailor)
community of Pipili in Orissa State. Originally used in festivals now finds a way
into our home too. The Craft involves embroidering and stitching of small pieces
of colored cloth with motifs of flowers, animals, village scene and traditional
designs on to a larger base cloth. The cloth used for patch as well as base is
cotton with different colour combinations.
Appliqué trade has turned out to be the trade which
has employed largest number of rural women artisans of Orissa.
As each is hand made, each is unique in how the colours are used in the parts of the applique.
This large community scene is spectacular. The detailed work makes this our finest and applique which provides for wonderful opportunity for story telling, look and find, or simply as a bright wall hanging that will bring any room to life.
