Kutch Ember Dhurrie Rug
This dhurrie is woven on a horizontal pit loom using hand-spun cotton in colours derived from madder root and iron rust. Its geometric pattern is a regional signature passed down through the Peranakan community. Reversible and durable, it anchors a living room with warmth and narrative.
The Story Behind
Katong’s Peranakan women have woven dhurries as part of their heritage tradition for generations. Each motif encodes family identity and clan history.
