The Vibrant Heritage of Banjara Embroidery

Banjara embroidery, also known as Lambani or Gypsy embroidery, originates from the Banjara tribes—nomadic communities across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Their textiles were historically rich with color, mirrors, shells, coins, and patchwork, symbolizing prosperity, protection, and celebration.
This Banjara bag revives that legacy through dense hand-stitching in vibrant threads, creating geometric, floral, and tribal patterns. Mirrors (shisha work) reflect light and ward off evil, while patchwork uses recycled fabrics for sustainability—a practice rooted in tribal resourcefulness.
