Karbi Jomborong Canvas Bag

Karbi Jomborong is a traditional hand-woven fabric made by the Karbi tribe of Assam, India. It is known for its durability and strength, making it a popular material for making bags and other accessories. The word “jomborong” means “sturdy” or “strong” in the Karbi language, which perfectly describes the qualities of this canvas material. The fabric is usually made from cotton or silk fibers, which are locally sourced and hand-spun by the Karbi women. The process of making Karbi Jomborong fabric is a labor-intensive one and involves several steps. First, the cotton or silk fibers are spun into yarn using a traditional spinning wheel. Then, the yarn is dyed with natural dyes made from plants and herbs found in the local forests. The dyed yarn is then woven on a traditional handloom to create the intricate patterns and designs that are unique to Karbi Jomborong fabric.
