About
A vividly colourful embroidery tradition of the nomadic Lambani (Banjara) community, combining mirror work, patchwork and dense thread embroidery into bold geometric patterns on everyday garments.
Did you know? Lambani embroidery traditionally recycles old and torn fabric pieces into new patchwork garments — a practice born of nomadic necessity that today is celebrated as a deliberate, sustainable design choice.
