Nepali Dhaka

Nepali Dhaka is an exquisite cotton fabric hand woven in numerous colors with infinite and unlimited number of patterns.

This traditional weaving is done on wood and bamboo treadle looms. Every change of shed produces a different kind of weave. The weaver decides the print pattern without a chart or counting threads into which section of the warp she lays down the colors, which forms the patterns. It is truly an indigenous form of expression reflecting Nepali mastery of craftsmanship. It is an intricate art in the traditional hand weaving technique that has been practiced in Nepal for many generations.The Nepali Dhaka is considered as a symbol of pride and is a representation and symbol of the Nepali culture.

Bujo Nepal products that are made from Nepali Dhaka are loomed by Shanti Shrestha or recycled Dhaka fabrics. Shanti didi has 2 treadle looms in her house, where she looms beautiful dhaka fabrics.
Thank you for enjoying Shanti didi's work. We value her hard work and treasue this tradition.

Care: cold hand wash and air dry.
