Story
It was an action she’d performed mindlessly, so many times before. Her gurus, her elders, her teachers, her parents – the list went on. She’d bend down from the waist and quickly touch her fingers to their toes, seeking an unspoken blessing. Over the years, she’d forgotten what it was she was asking of them. The act was simple, uncomplicated and almost mechanical.
Now, as his fingers reached for her toes, she didn’t quite know what to expect. No one had prepared her for this. Husbands didn’t ask wives for their blessing. In her family, women were raised to support, never lead. But this relationship was different. It would be one of several firsts, for the several that would follow in its wake. And as she enveloped him in a warm embrace, her heart was full.
This brilliant blue mul cotton saree combines the best of tradition with a contemporary flair.
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.
