-
Color - A shade of Bottle Green
-
Fabric - Soft as butter, pure Katan silk
-
Technique - An enduring Kadwa weave and fine Meenakari technique. The elaborate and laborious Kadwa (Kadhua) technique involves hand-weaving each motif separately. It takes longer on the handloom, but makes a more robust pattern, which stands out on the fabric. Meenakari involves the painstaking addition of supplementary coloured resham threads during the hand-weaving process.
-
Collection Note - Distinguished by its creative rendition of designs that reflect a heritage steeped in artistry, the Tilfi Kala collection draws inspiration from the mesmerising intricacy of old Mughal miniature art and architecture, bringing it to life on textiles through masterful craftsmanship.
-
Tilfi Promise - Pure. Handloom. Banaras.
-
Note - The saree comes with its own blouse piece. The model is wearing a separate blouse for styling purposes.
Since this product is handwoven, there might be slight irregularities. But don't you think these add to the singular charm of a handloom beauty?
