Story
Beautiful stranger – won’t you stay a while? Won’t you talk to me of your distant travels? Of the many dreams you wove and the many paths you crossed on your way? Of the many lives you’ve lived and all the memories you’ve made?
O stranger, what makes you so familiar? Why does it feel as though this face is as familiar as my own? Why does it feel as though we’ve lived this very day, so many times before? Why do our paths always intersect, if only to pull away? Stranger, let’s relish this moment together, before this too fades away into nothingness.
This delicate white mul cotton saree will make friends of every stranger you encounter.
Description
The mul cotton is what we call ‘made in heaven’ at Suta. Known in West Bengal as mul mul, the fabric is buttery soft and delicately beautiful. The weave of this fabric is very fine, and this lends a very fluid texture to it that makes draping it a breeze. It is truly like a hug that wraps you in its love!
Jamdani, an incredibly intricate weaving technique, is not just a craft but a legacy. The process of weaving a Jamdani saree takes many days and is a labour of love. The designs are first drawn on graph paper and the weaving pattern is ideated. The design is then woven into the saree by controlling the weft as the warp remains the base. This technique of weaving makes the motifs appear like they are floating on the extremely soft and fluid cotton fabric of the saree. Jamdani sarees are painstakingly woven on handlooms by master weavers and their mastery is reflected in the surreal gorgeousness of each saree.
