 :Sikkim Lepcha:

    Of all the tribes in Sikkim,the lepcha community is the most well known for its handloom tradition and has indeed became a loved design there.This design is ethnic and very beautiful at the same time-a rare combination isn't it?

The lepcha fabric is used for traditional garments as well as shoulder bags,napkins,cushion covers,table mats and more.While the basic fabric is cotton,wool is used for the motifs that are woven onto this textile.

Lepchas women fork work on traditional bag strap loin-looms that enhances the quality of the fabric.The vertical frame looks with a back strap used by the lapcha woman is indigenous in Sikkim.The colours are mainly white black red yellow and green etc.
