The brand was established in the year 1949. Their history is as rich as the Patolas they make. Decades ago, the family from Patan went out of Rajkot to search for large markets and get more artwork opportunities. Indian leaders like the first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji, along with the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, helped this family move out of Rajkot and help Pethajibhai Makwana and his family members to begin the work of making Rajkotiyan handmade Patola.
Through years of hard work and commitment for creating the best Patolas in town, after Pethajibhai Makwana, his son Dineshbhai Makwana took over the business and gave massive success to the same with his son Niraj Makwana. This led to the creation of their brand named “Dineshbhai Patolawala.” Patolas were arts that were once reserved for the Royal families of Gujarat and later for high-ranked noblemen. Dineshbhai Makwana, his father with his robust team of professionals, made it available for all through his brand, dealing in wholesale and retail markets.
The Patola weave is an exquisite display of colour with unique complex patterns and has basic design motifs like flowers, animals, birds and human figures. They say Patola originated 600 years ago, owing to the patronage of king Kumarpala, who made it a symbol of wealth. Today, Patan, Mehsana and Rajkot have become hubs for Patola saree production. Its method includes dyeing a bunch of yarn, weaving it into fine fabrics of various designs and motifs.
