From Fabric to Accessory: Incorporating Gamthi Prints Beyond Jewellery

At Gamthi Fashion, our roots lie deep in the colorful soil of Gujarat’s textile heritage—especially in the time-honored Gamthi print. Traditionally seen on handloom fabrics like skirts, dupattas, and chaniya cholis, this bold and symmetrical block print has now found new life in modern accessories that blend old-world charm with everyday elegance.

So how do we take this centuries-old art and wear it beyond the traditional? Let’s explore.

The Soul of Gamthi: A Print with a Purpose

Gamthi prints are more than just patterns—they are symbolic expressions of culture. Created using natural dyes and wooden blocks, these geometric and floral motifs often carry meanings tied to nature, religion, or community identity.

Originally worn as festive or ritual clothing, Gamthi prints now add depth and identity to accessories like fabric necklaces, potli bags, clutches, hair bands, and bracelets—breathing new life into the art form.

Why Gamthi Prints Work in Accessories

• Bold Motifs: Stand out even on small surfaces like cuffs or pendants
• Cultural Vibe: Instantly adds traditional flair to any look
• Sustainable: Often handcrafted from fabric offcuts or upcycled textiles
• Versatile: Pairs well with both Indian and Western outfits
