Garbi also Garvi was a silk-cotton blend fabric made with cotton in the warp and silk in the weft. It was a handloom textile material from the nineteenth century Sindh[1][2] and Punjab.[3] Garbi had a strong and a rough texture. It was made of thirty yards in length and nine inches in width, like the other piece goods from India and Pakistan.[4] Women in Sindh wore Garbi-made folk dresses.[5]
