Heritage and Origin

The enduring Kadwa weave is an elaborate and laborious technique that involves hand-weaving each motif separately.  This intricate work derives its name from Kadha hua, meaning embroidered. The fabric so created is a result of meticulous handweaving that takes longer time on the handloom, but makes a more robust pattern, which stands out on the fabric.

The painstaking Kadwa technique is used to incorporate motifs of a variety of shapes and sizes, which is not found in any other Benarasi technique such as Phekwa or Cutwork. In such sarees, there are no loose threads at the back of the fabric and hence, no cutting is required. Kadhua produces beautiful sarees which are a labour of love, attention to detail and the timelessness of the holy city of Benaras.

She looked intently at the shakha pola, the traditional white and red bangles made of conch shell and coral, which her mother had just given her. Her big day had arrived, and in a few hours, she would be a married woman. She was nostalgic and happy at the same time as she reminisced about her past and looked forward to a new life ahead.

White and red are an integral part of Bengali culture and a ubiquitous part of weddings, festivities and significant occasions. This white and red Jamdani saree is an ode to time-tested customs and traditions. The intricate designs and craftsmanship make it a work of art to be treasured forever.

Heritage and Origin

Jamdani combines the words jam (flower) and dani (vase or container). It is acknowledged as one of the world’s most advanced hand-weaving techniques characterized by rich, intricate motifs. The process is extremely time-consuming and laborious: some sarees may take nearly a year to weave. In 2013, UNESCO declared Jamdani weaving an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Select expert weavers are recognized as bearers of the traditional Jamdani motifs and weaving techniques who pass down their skills to the next generation.

The base of Jamdani sarees originally comprised sheer, light muslin considered so fine that six yards of fabric could pass through a ring. A superior variety of cotton, native to a certain stretch of the Brahmaputra river, was used to create the muslin. While traditional Jamdani originated in Dhaka, the capital of present-day Bangladesh, the tradition is now carried forward in West Bengal. The fabric gained prominence during the Mughal rule in India. Although Jamdani weaving incorporates mostly geometrically-shaped floral motifs, other elements of nature also find representation.

Heritage and Origin

Steeped in history and an ancient culture which is believed to date back to the Vedic period, Chanderi, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, is surrounded by lush hills, forests and lakes. It is also home to one of the most famous handloom clusters in India, where weaving has been a part of the town’s socioeconomic character for centuries. The eponymous Chanderi fabric, which is made from a mix of silk, cotton and zari, is unique for its translucence and sheer texture. Traditionally, motifs were inspired by the town’s surrounding natural beauty and incorporated elements such as animals & birds, flowers, heavenly bodies and even gold coins (asharfis). Chanderi sarees are made using a technique called tana-bana, or the warp and weft method.

The production of Chanderi fabric (including the motifs) has evolved with time. Till about 50 years ago, all handwoven fabrics had soft, natural hues and muted tones. Since then, weavers have incorporated vibrant colours and vivid combinations in their looms. Katan silk is a type of fabric which is made by intertwining filaments of silk which gives it a firm and durable character. Katan originated in Persia and became popular in India during the Mughal reign.

That night she saw something surreal. A peacock with a flaming pink body was strutting about aimlessly on shimmering off-white sand, as if waiting for the right moment. Suddenly, there was lightning followed by a clap of thunder. It was a signal for the majestic bird – it opened its feathers and started dancing. She could see the colours of the feathers very clearly: green, pink and yellow. Mesmerised, she reached out to touch the peacock. It let out a loud scream and vanished. Her eyes opened to the shrill sound of the alarm.

This off-white saree with a fascinating Patola design and rani pink border is the stuff dreams are made of. Wear it and feel the magic.

Heritage and Origin

Bhoodan Pochampally, a small town in Telengana (previously Andhra Pradesh), is renowned for its illustrious association with textile production, particularly handwoven Ikat sarees in cotton, silk and sico (blend of silk and cotton). The cluster of 100 villages comprise more than 10,000 families involved in the weaving process. The Ikat sarees can be single Ikat or double Ikat: in single Ikat, either the warp or the weft is tie-dyed while in double Ikat, both the warp and the weft are tie-dyed. What sets apart Pochampally sarees from sarees produced in other regions are intricate, full-body geometric patterns which are said to induce a hypnotic effect if seen directly. These sarees also incorporate motifs and designs from other regions in India, including Patola and Rajkot designs from Gujarat and traditional Rajasthani designs. Handwoven sarees are produced on traditional looms – each of which is more than a century old – using environment-friendly and sustainable processes. It takes nearly 10 days for an entire family working together to weave one saree.
