Upcycling discarded fabric is time-consuming and often costs more than purchasing a new one. But Metaphor Racha firmly believes upcycling contributes to environmental sustainability, promotes resource conservation, supports local economies, and encourages a shift towards more conscious and responsible consumer behaviour.
Our in-house skilled tailors dedicated dozens of hours to creating these multi-purpose textile pieces for various purposes such as wrapping lunch boxes, gift wrapping, table napkins, bandanas, or to use in any other creative way.
Our inspiration comes from the Korean textile joinery technique called "Pojagi" and the Japanese concept of wrapping Bento lunch boxes in napkins called "Furoshiki"; both involve wrapping cloth to carry and store items.
We have named these one-of-a-kind pieces as "Buthi" (ಬುತ್ತಿ), a term in the local Kannada language that refers to a lunch box. This is a common item farmers and labourers use when working in the fields away from home. We honour and appreciate the dedication and hard work of cotton farmers and farm labourers with every textile product we offer.
These napkins are sold as a set of two. No two napkins look alike. They measure 24"x 24" (61 cms x 61 cms)

Believing in handmade goes beyond clothing & involves supporting numerous weavers who may not be highly skilled or may be first-generation weavers. These weavers create home-need textile-based products such as towels, napkins, bedspreads, dhurries, throws, & even coarse textiles that can be converted into utilitarian products. In this section, we honour these unsung craftspeople, weaving dreams into the fabric of our living spaces - where comfort meets beauty in every thread.
