When the mind wanders, it feels like the start of a new journey. An exciting, incredible one sometimes. And, an unpredictable, scary one at other times. Nevertheless, the mind always wanders. It always has some new path to show you, even if everything on the path is what you always knew. So, as important as it is to follow your heart, shall we follow our minds too? Because, when we look inwards and follow that trail, we sometimes stumble upon serendipity, memories, art, inspirations, unprocessed and raw bits of the self ….and it is completely a walk worth taking!
This orange hand-painted made-in-heaven mul saree is a treasure! The beautiful artworks on the sarees from this collection are created by Amrit and replicated on our sarees by Suta’s women artisans.
Our artisans paint with all their hearts to create the hand-painted sarees. First, the art is conceptualized (for this collection, the art is by Amrit Kurrana, a wonderful artist) it is replicated on a live-sized paper and sent to artisans in villages. These artisans keep this as a reference and paint the final painting on the fabric in a free-hand technique. The softest Mul fabric becomes the perfect canvas for this art and these sarees make a statement like no other. There are bound to be some irregularities here and there and no two products will look absolutely the same. This is the beautiful allure of hand-painted art.
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!
