Treat along Textile Trail - The Saree Affair

Sari is a timeless, classic, antique piece of garment that measure 6-8 yards, pervasive in its own style.  The love affair with the sari has continued down the ages. People began adding colors to this fascinating piece of garment ever since its origin.

Weaving is an exceptional heritage craft. It takes a lot of effort to compose a drape in stunning color, pattern or textile. The intricacy of the design and the delicacy of the weave is what makes handloom ornamental and prestigious in it's own beautiful way. 

A beautiful sari is a story teller, a label of grandeur. I'm a fanatical sari lover, my favorite past time is to pull delicate drapes from my closet and admire the artisan of the fascinating six yard fabric.

I recently purchased a beautiful ancient weave ' Chanderi ' which is truly the princess of handloom weaves. The fabric of Chanderi is regal and sumptuous, serene and stylish, delicate and beautiful, and an absolute stunner. 

I bought a lime green chanderi silk sari, a fall-out of the sparkle called 'My first Sari'. A project which is a collaboration of Ami Patel(Celebrity Stylist) and Madhurya Creations.  I fell in love with this sari, the color, texture, beauty, magnificence everything about it. 

Chanderi silk stole my heart, I couldn't resist buying another one from the same collection in less than a month. Both are beautiful in their own way. The chic motifs on the two saris add contemporary poise to this drape.

The 'My first Sari' project is also a great initiative supporting handloom and Indian weavers. And every purchase made is a reward to educate a girl child in India. What a beautiful purchase these two were.
