What gives the Aavaran bedsheet its character?
Large petal-shaped medallions in soft grey, linked by diamonds, spread across a white base. The scale of the medallions gives the bed presence, while the gentle grey keeps the look light, clean and easy on the eye.
Will it look too plain in my room?
Not at all. The grey petal medallions add a clear pattern, so the bed has interest of its own while still reading as white. It brightens the room and leaves you free to add colour through cushions, curtains or a rug.
Where does it come from?
It is made in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Babulal. The appliqué is done by hand, with every petal and diamond cut from fabric and stitched onto the cotton by the women of the group.
How do I wash it safely?
Dry cleaning is preferred. When washing at home, hand wash gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes. Dry it in the shade, not under strong sun, and handle the stitched shapes gently.
What size bed does it suit?
It is designed to fit a standard double bed. The cotton is soft, breathable and absorbs moisture well, so it is comfortable as an everyday bedsheet in any climate, while the appliqué dresses up the room.
Is every piece exactly the same?
No. The overall colour stays similar, but patches may vary, and because the bedsheet is made by hand, slight irregularities are a natural outcome. That is what makes each piece unique rather than factory-identical.
