The breath of life is in the mellow sunlight washing over her. Some days the memories knock the breath out of her. To chase a feather, a pink butterfly with gossamer wings, her green pattu pavada wrapped around her legs that curtailed her running faster. Her pati had stitched it for her, and a month and a half of summer every year, she felt simply airborne. Whoever says great things don’t come from comfort zones?

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!
