Slow, honest cloth from the artisans of Kutch: native Kala cotton, coloured with fermented indigo and earth pigments, finished with hand-tied tassels.
Each stole is unisex, mid-weight and made to be worn in every season. Every piece varies slightly, as natural dye and handloom always do.
A versatile mid-weight stole for men and women. The blue is dyed in naturally fermented indigo vats, so every piece carries its own subtle variation in shade.
Warm grey coloured with earth-derived plant and mineral dyes, bordered in natural cotton with a clean geometric weave. Quiet, tactile and easy to wear.
No machines set the pace here. Every Rannova stole passes through three unhurried, hand-led stages.
Before there is cloth, there is the tana, the lengthwise warp. The threads are prepared and set out by hand, in exact order and tension, because the warp decides how the finished stole will hang.
Yarn is handled on the traditional charkha, the hand-driven wheel, and the blues come from naturally fermented indigo. The colour is alive, so each batch carries its own gentle shifts of shade.
On the handloom, the weaver passes the wana, the weft, through the tana one throw at a time, adding the geometric extra-weft borders by hand. The tassels are tied last, one by one.
A native crop of Kutch that grows without irrigation or chemical fertilizers, with a dry, tactile hand that softens with wear.
Fermented indigo for the blues, earth-derived plant and mineral dyes for the greys. No two stoles are exactly alike.
A time-honoured handloom technique that raises the geometric pattern out of the cloth itself, with visible slubs as proof of the hand.
We work with boutiques, concept stores and design studios in the US, UK and EU who value real craft and a clear story behind what they stock.
Trade pricing, minimum order and lead times are shared on request.
Rannova brings the weaving traditions of Kutch to people everywhere. Each stole is made with local artisans in Bhuj, Gujarat, using fibre, dye and technique that belong to the region.
We keep the cloth simple so the craft can speak: natural colour, honest texture, and yarn slubs left visible as proof it was made by hand.
Natural dyes are alive. A little care keeps them beautiful for years.
Expect a small amount of colour release initially, especially from indigo. This is normal for authentic plant indigo and stops after a few washes.
Gently hand wash separately in cold water with a mild, eco-friendly liquid detergent.
Do not wring or twist the fabric. Lay it flat in the shade to dry naturally.
Use a warm iron on the reverse side if needed.
Please check the measurements (80 × 22 inches) before ordering.
