This weave is, perhaps, defined more by age and longevity than any aspect of its gorgeous visage. Seeped in the history of the Indian Subcontinent, these weaves have been traced back to nearly 1200 years ago. Their uniqueness lies in their checkered pattern, and vibrant colours... and if you can snag one with them, the distinctive Ganga-Jamuna Borders that make this saree reversible! These sarees are pure, primordial and associated with the auspiciousness of being worn by the Goddess Shakti...
Hand-woven or Hand Loom Sarees, to the untrained eye, can look, like simple pieces of fabric, but the exquisite skill and craftsmanship they hold cocooned within them, the forethought required to predict weaves and wefts and how they’ll impact the final product is, simply, incomprehensible… These sarees, whether the ikkats, where individual segments of individual strands of yarn are hand dyed to form their intricate patterns or the Patteda Anchus that date back to the 8th Century, are ingrained in India’s Artistic-Cultural History.
Their simple, fine colours, their impeccable drapes, their fabric-they treat with the utmost respect, make these sarees, some to die for.
