Master artisan Mohammad Muzakkir Mohammad Yaqub Sujaniwala is a fifth-generation weaver who has dedicated over 40 years of his life to practicing and preserving his family's heritage. Carrying forward a craft passed down by his father and uncles, he is now passing this traditional knowledge to his son.
Sujani is an intricate handloom technique where a double cloth is woven simultaneously on a single loom and beam. As the fabric is created inch by inch, raw cotton filling is inserted into the pockets directly on the loom, eliminating the need for any external stitching.
This rare and traditional craft originates from the historic city of Bharuch, located in Gujarat, India. The region has served as the home for this specialized weaving tradition for two and a half centuries.
The primary products of this craft are seamless, padded quilts and textiles created entirely as a single integrated piece. Because the stuffing is enclosed during the weaving process itself, these items offer exceptional durability, comfort, and unique structural integrity without a single stitch.
Over 250 years ago, weavers in Bharuch created a clever way to make warm, padded quilts directly on a handloom. Instead of sewing two pieces of cloth together and stuffing them later, they learned to weave double layers of fabric at the same time.
