The Fabric of India Exhibition at the V & A

The highlight of the V&A’s India Festival, The Fabric of India,  will be the first major exhibition to explore the dynamic and multifaceted world of handmade textiles from India from the 3rd to the 21st century. It runs from 03 October 2015 – 10 January 2016 and looks to be well worth a visit. If you can't get to the exhibition it's still worth visiting the V & A site   as there are interesting articles that you can read. There is also a chance to enter a competition to win an exotic holiday to India- see here for details.
