Two strangers met at the most magical place there could be – the train.
“I am off to my hometown”, said one.
“I am leaving my hometown”, said the other.
And then, the conversation that ensued travelled along with them long after the destinations arrived!
See? Magic!
This off-white handwoven Mulberry silk saree with intricate kantha embroidery is a piece of legacy that feels truly like home!
This is a handwoven Mulberry silk saree with beautiful kantha work on it.
Mulberry silk is a high-quality variety of silk obtained from cocoons of silk worms that feed only on Mulberry leaves. The brilliant shine that vibrates from this silk fabric spells class and traditional beauty. With handloom silk, woven by hand, the magic is exponentially more! The silk threads on the warp and weft of the handloom are woven into a fabric by the master weavers and the magic that ensues is beautiful!
Kantha is traditional embroidery that originated from the nimble hands of industrious women who upcycled fabric bits by stitching them together and crafted a beautiful kaleidoscope of art in the process. It has since evolved into a stunning craft that is practiced by artisans through generations. Kantha refers to a specific kind of stitch, the most basic one being a simple, straight, running stitch. The artisans use spectacular motifs based on simple geometric grids or more complicated, naturalistic designs including birds, foliage, animals and scenes of everyday activities. Working on a design using kantha stitch completely is a fully hand-done, laborious process and thus each saree can take 40-50 days to complete. As kantha work comes to life on fabrics, it transforms into a legacy that is often passed forward as heirloom.
