Hand-embroidered by Toda women artisans in the Nilgiris, the pieces within the Toda Heirloom Collection emerge from an intricate textile tradition carried across generations within a small indigenous community. Developed slowly through sustained collaboration, careful material exploration, and extensive handwork, each textile holds subtle variations shaped by the rhythm of making and the individuality of its maker. Created in limited numbers over weeks and sometimes months, no two works are ever exactly alike.
