Design Description
Inspired by Indian tradition and Arabian influences, ‘Eclectic Earth Ensemble’ merges woven date palm leaves, jute fabric, and sackcloth into a striking cultural design. The saree, crafted from hand-layered date palm leaves and jute, showcases traditional textile techniques, while the blouse, reinforced with coconut husk, adds structure and texture. The pants, made from jute and sackcloth, complete the ensemble with natural, repurposed materials. Weighing 6kg, this Arabian-inspired piece is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and cultural fusion.
Materials Used: Date Palm Leaves, Jute, Sackcloth & Coconut Husk
