Today she stood herself in the mirror again and saw herself for the first time. Instead of dusting the old memories of feelings of worthlessness, she honored herself with pride. She was meeting the woman of her dreams today, and all she said was “thank you” to the harsh reality that made her grow. She indeed was a lotus, that bloomed in the mud, becoming the one that Lord Brahma, the creator himself adored.
This saree’s name is inspired by the Odissi dance mudra - Padmakosha, which means “Lotus bud”.
This Ikat handloom cotton blue and black hued saree, with black tassels magnificently becomes a part of you and your story, in the most pristine way.
This is a handloom cotton Ikat saree.
Ikat is an art of resist-dyeing where the yarn is coated with resistive materials in specific patterns and then dyed before weaving the fabric. The process of applying dye-resist and dyeing is repeated multiple times to create exquisite patterns.
Handloom cotton is a type of fabric that is woven using hand operated looms. Two sets of interlacing yarns, the warp (length) and weft (width), are woven on a mechanised loom operated by weavers. These looms do not use electricity. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and renders the fabrics more value.
The art of hand weaving is labour intensive and takes a longer time. But, the beauty it adds to the fabric is priceless. Choosing handloom cotton supports the rich weaving heritage of India and lets the weavers carry on the precious art-form to the future generations as well.
