Story
The colours in her eyes couldn’t be contained anymore. They burst forth into the world, painting the oceans, the trees and the mountains. When they were done with the earth, they took wings and became rainbows in the night sky. To think that they were just specks of dreams in a little girl’s mind just a while back!
This black Tussar silk saree with kantha work in rainbow colours is pure love!
Over 200 women artisans who have inherited the rich tradition of Kantha craft have worked on this collection. Every saree becomes a part of the artisan’s life as they live with the hand-woven, handloom Tussar silk saree for around 3 weeks to complete the Kantha work on it. The warmth and love they pour into the garment is priceless and shines through in the saree.
The luscious fabric of Tussar silk and the brilliant Kantha work on it is a ravishing combination that comes alive in all vibrancy.
Description
Kantha is traditional art that originated right in the heart of loving households of the Bengal region where the industrious women upcycled fabric bits into quilts, blankets and clothing by stitching them together and then crafted beautiful embroidery patterns across the kaleidoscope of fabrics. The artisans use spectacular motifs and delicate stitching techniques to create stunning art.
The Tussar silk is a material that is synonymous with richness and lush beauty. This material is woven using silk threads obtained from the cocoons of silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea. Since most of these silkworms are found in forest areas, Tussar silk is also known to be a wild silk variety or a forest product. The characteristic features of this material are the deep gold colour that the silk exudes and the amazing texture. This kind of silk is thicker than normal silk but needs to be taken care of and preserved since the fibres are shorter and can result in a decrease in durability. But then, anything precious has to be taken care of, right? The natural sheen of this fabric is inimitable and is perfect for festive occasions as well as when you want the spotlight on you!
The magical feel of this fabric combined with the weaving skills of talented weaver results in a fabric that will embrace you and make you shine!
