Located
in the landlocked western recesses of the subcontinent, the Kutch region of
Gujarat is home to lively folk fashion and vibrant aesthetics, both of which
are characteristic of the local style of embroidery.
It is the most notable of Indian embroideries, a Geographical Indication of the place it comes from. Note the embroidery the artisan holds in her hands. Striking foundation colour, silver sequins, and abundant florals.

These are atypical, and could be observed on the artisan's
ghagra as well, what with the mirrors glimmering in the pale light that surrounds
her. The rest of her outfit are a good picture of what Kutch fashion is all
about - brightly coloured gold-sequined choli, luscious dupatta, and lots of
chunky silver jewellery.
