Naadi/ Vartadi

The product was used by the farming communities of Kachchh. Post harvesting, farmers would tie the crop yield onto the cart with the naadi and carry it to the storage areas. The skill needed to twist and braid leather has become relatively uncommon in present day Kachchh. Since the naadi was used rigorously, it needed to have enough strength and ability to last. To make it, two people would hold the pieces of leather at both ends while twisting and adding to its length.
