Alpona Hand Painted Red Tie

Alpona, a traditional Bengali folk art, is known for its intricate motifs drawn with rice flour during religious and festive occasions. Rooted in household rituals led by rural women, each design symbolizes prayers for prosperity, purity, and blessings. Over time, this sacred art transcended its origins, inspiring masters like Jamini Roy, Abanindranath Tagore, Devi Prasad, and even Satyajit Ray.

At Knottylooms, we celebrate this heritage by reimagining Alpona on handcrafted ties. Using fabric colors while keeping white as the central hue, our artisans transform this timeless tradition into wearable art—an elegant blend of culture and contemporary design

“This exquisite tie is a testament to artisanal finesse and timeless design. Set upon a vibrant red base, the artisan has created a striking interplay of bold white motifs delicately accented with black dots. The contrast is both powerful and graceful, resulting in a piece that is not only visually captivating but also soothingly artistic—a perfect fusion of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.”
