Beyond the deceptive simplicity of their herders' characteristic kediya — a lightweight cotton, gathered wrap overshirt or jacket — the Rabari are a stylish bunch, with a bewildering array of varied and intricate jewelry and embroidered garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn traditional usage, the kediya (or kedia) can range from a plain work garment — reminiscent of traditional European linen undergarments or smocks — to part of a highly ornate wedding outfit, heavily embroidered and made from costly materials. Its flattering silhouette, wearable construction and traditional origins mean it is increasingly entering into mainstream fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTribal leaders, 30 years ago, banned people from embroidering their Kedia, so this piece has become a rare and stunning look into the past. This is an authentic piece but due to it's age, it has some slight discoloration, stains and holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLength from back of neck to bottom 51cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePit to pit across the back 41cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BPBoyden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49413222695260,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/8787\/7468\/files\/il_fullxfull.3652739019_6czb.jpg?v=1727101852","url":"https:\/\/siddikawandi.com\/products\/vintage-hand-embroidered-mens-rabari-shirt-kedia","provider":"BPBoyden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
