Kutch weaving stands for its skill of creating fine, intricate motifs from coarse yarns like wool. The weaving style enables fabrics to stay cool in summer and give warmth in winter. Kutch weaving has been a unique confluence of the weaving styles of Sindh, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

As they have entered into the international market, nowhere are many other products added to their list like mufflers, stoles, veils, cotton yardage, carpets, home furnishing items, in silk and cotton mix weaving.
