Story
There were few sights she treasured as much as that of the moon against the dark velvet backdrop of the night sky. She said it stirred her passion, that it ignited the tempestuous storm that resided deep within her soul. Tonight, the moon was shrouded in wisps of grey. Every so often, it peeked back at her expectant face through the sheer curtains mounted on her bedroom window. And before she could catch another glimpse, it melted into a sea of luminous grey.
But she waited, and watched, and was finally rewarded when the skies opened up and the iridescent ball of silver made the sky come alive in a milky white. Throwing her head back, she felt the creases on her forehead smoothen and her shoulders drop. For when the moon smiles at you, how can you not smile back?
Black and beautiful, this mul cotton saree feels just as delightful as a moonlit summer night.
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.
