For her, a perfect date meant one with some Biriyani. And, a good night’s sleep meant a tall glass of warm milk and cookies. For her, the ideal rainy day meant a bowl of onion fritters and some chai. And, a great day at the beach meant some awesome hot-dogs with generous dollops of mustard paste!
This mustard, brown and green handloom cotton saree is classy, elegant and regal!
The 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 resultant fabric is softer, more durable and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. The dyeing process also becomes easier for handloom cotton as the colour penetration is substantially more. Hues are absorbed better thus look resplendent on handloom cotton.
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"
