Handwoven Cotton Paithani Saree With Zari Bootis All Over, Zari Border With Lines, Double Pallu In Zari With Peacock Motif

It’s a handloom Saree in 100% pure Cotton, handwoven in a village of Maharashtra and the craft is called Paithani. It is a 2000 year old weave and the craft of Paithani weaving dates back to the Satvahana Dynasty that ruled between the second century BC and the second century AD. Despite the craft being centuries old, the Paithani sari is still woven in the same traditional manner.  It is done with the same tapestry technique as used in the weaving of a Persian rug. Multiple threads of different colours along with gold and silver threads are woven together to form this fascinating piece of fabric / Saree. The weaving process is complex, begins from choosing raw material and precious metals to the final product.

The characteristic feature of a Paithani is its full brocade pallu in Zari with floral & bird motifs in Resham. The origin of Paithani weaving started by using cotton warp and silk only in border and pallu. In between, for a long period Cotton Paithani weaving had gone in hibernation as it had lost its popularity and thus weavers had stopped weaving. During our travels to weaver’s village, in 2016 we happened to chance upon 2 pieces that were huddled up & lying in a corner. We at artisan saga decided to reintroduce these in the market and soon, within a year , it regained its popularity.

This Saree is in steel grey colour with a woven border with Zari lines. The body of the Saree has woven Zari bootis and the pallu is in brocade with Resham motifs of Peacock pattern, as in Double Pallu.  This is the most popular motif, called Parinda, meaning bird, and was introduced by the princess of Hyderabad, Niloufer - King Nizam’s daughter. It is believed that the king loved Paithani weaving and patronized it extensively, he used to make special visit to these villages. It has a running blouse piece attached to it, in the same body colour with border on both sides.

This Cotton Paithani Saree is glorious, with a class apart. A rich luxurious feel, it has a festive vibe and can be draped for occasions and celebrations. The fun of Cotton Paithanis is that they can look quite ornate when dressed up & accessorised well and can be draped pretty casually as well or if paired with complementary ethnic blouse and silver jewellery will give an artsy & stylish vibe.

Handwoven Cotton Tissue Patola Saree In Single Ikat From Rajkot Woven With Silver Zari.

The base colour of the Saree is dusky pink with Silver Zari interwoven in the weft. The use of Silver Zari is a rarity and that itself marks it as exclusive. Its sheen is a little stronger than the Gold Zari because the Gold has yellowness and exudes warmth whereas Silver has whiteness and exudes coolness. Yet this is what is its appeal factor. The body design is in an intricate jaal of traditional pattern. It has a primary border with floral motif and a secondary border with Zari & a darker colour selvedge, bright pink. The pallu has a multicoloured pattern woven intricately in the form of separate bands, a continuation of the border design. The blouse piece is attached and is plain with Zari interwoven in the weft, with same secondary border with Zari & darker colour selvedge running on two sides of the blouse piece.

100% pure Cotton with Zari handloom Saree, called a Cotton Tissue Saree in Single Ikat Rajkot Patola from villages of Gujrat. Handwoven with pure Cotton warp & weft along with Zari in the weft, this is a unique creation. An artist always aspires to create something new & different. This is one such experiment that has grown in popularity due to our pioneering efforts.

The use of Tissue has given a nice sheen to otherwise casual Cotton Patolas and this has made them quite wearable for parties and other semi formal occasions. They drape well, they wear well, they fall well and they stay well. They don’t get crushed after a long day at work or gathering. As light as feather, these are so cool and comfortable in excessive heat, they don’t stick either. They have a soft texture, you won’t feel the roughness of Zari on your skin, they don’t hurt or bite or create a rash. These really are an ideal choice for an extra sensitive skin.
