THREADS OF TRADITION - The Evolution of Goan Attire

Goa, a land rich in treasures, is a harmonious blend of diverse cultures with a long colonial heritage, setting it apart from the rest of India. Read on to explore the traditional attires, fabrics, and influences that shaped ancient Goan clothing, as well as the current fashion landscape.

Traditional Fabrics in Goan Garments

Most fabrics and clothing materials traditionally used in Goa were carefully crafted, keeping in mind the region's tropical climate.

The Kunbi sarees of Goa, developed by distinct tribal groups, were made from locally sourced cotton and silk threads. Interestingly, these sarees were often presented as offerings to deities in religious rituals.
