short description
The cotton bag, produced by the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, serves as yet another fine example of traditional weaving and indigenous craftsmanship. The thin fibre-stitched bag has marquise red as its base for color with a distinct structure divided into three—two handle straps and a central body. The stitching unites the sections, marked by continuous vertical yellow lines on either side of the body and along the handle straps. On top, thick yellow weaving is given in the horizontal line for strength and contrasting visual appeal.
These cotton bags are handwoven using natural looming techniques handed down across generations of Adi weavers. Weaving with various hues enhances the artistic appeal, textures, and color shades. The cotton bags find utility in farming, household use, and as a precious item of tribal handicrafts for export.
Among the Adi, weaving is not merely a craft but a visceral cultural activity that embodies their sense of sustainability vis-a-vis the nature around them. From locally obtained material to produce these bags, it ensures the eco-friendliness of the production and durability. With the increasing demand for handmade indigenous textiles, the Adi cotton bag is gradually coming into the limelight and being acknowledged outside the tribal communities for its contribution to the rich heritage of traditional weaving in India.
This logo of usefulness, artistry, and sustainability, the Adi tribal cotton bag, stands to uphold the legacy of one of the most vibrant communities in Arunachal Pradesh.
