Rangrekha Gamchha Table Runners
₹850.00
A joyful reinterpretation of the everyday gamchha, the Rangrekha Table Runners are handwoven by artisans at Dakshini Prayash, a Kolkata-based organisation that nurtures skill, dignity, and local tradition. Each piece is rich in colour and rhythm, transforming the simplicity of the gamchha into a vibrant tabletop companion. Stripes, checks, and bold contrasts make every runner feel unique – ideal for homes that celebrate both story and soul.
The Thought Behind It
The Rangrekha Gamchha Table Runners are a tribute to texture, memory, and the beauty of everyday cloth. Inspired by the iconic Bengali gamchha, these runners are handwoven in soft cotton by the artisans of Dakshini Prayash – a social-impact organisation in Kolkata dedicated to preserving regional crafts and uplifting local communities.
Each runner carries its own visual rhythm – bright stripes, intersecting checks, and playful colour palettes – echoing the dynamic charm of haat bazaars and shared meals. Some feel like festivals, others like slow evenings – all of them carry the soul of handloom.
Whether layered over wood, draped down a festive table, or simply paired with everyday ceramics, these runners invite colour and conversation with quiet elegance. No two are exactly the same – each one bears the soft irregularity of the hand, and that’s the point.
Crafted in small batches, the Rangrekha Runners are a reminder that beauty often begins in the humble, and that the everyday can be both rooted and radiant.
