About Looms And Weaves

The saree is one of the world’s oldest and perhaps the only surviving unstitched garment from the past. Over the millennia, it has not only become a sensuous, glamorous all-time-wear for women, but also the ‘canvas’ for weavers and printers to create artistic weaves, prints and jewelled or gold-silver embellishments! Whether it’s the beauty of the baluchuri, the brillinace of the benarasi, the luxury of the mekhla, the colors of the sambalpuri, the technique of the ikkat , the natural shades of the bagru, the weight of the chettinad,the majesty of the maheswari, the geometry of the patola,or the vibrance of the ikkal ,it is more than just an uncut fabric of handwoven beauty.A sari often evokes a feeling of nostalgia and memory, associating certain sarees with a particular moment or event, or the memory of your grandmother and mother.Sarees are often passed down from one generation to the next, as part of a wedding trousseau or given as gifts for milestone moments.As well as a being purely functional garment, like many aspects of our clothes, saris are deeply connected to our memory and identity.
