Gujarat's handloom industry received a significant boost after the Rajkot Patola sarees were granted the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. Patola artisans mentioned that the GI tag has increased public knowledge about their craft. They added that this recognition has supported the livelihoods of many families for over 100 years, spanning several generations. Rajkot Patola sarees are created entirely by weavers, handwoven from fine silk.
