Nilima
Much like Sheikh’s art, Nilima finds beauty in the intersections of structure and lyricism. The precise checkered layout becomes a stage for kadhua meenakari floral arrangements that seem to bloom between boundaries. The result is a weave that holds the discipline of geometry and the vitality of the natural world in one frame.

Color - A beautiful shade of Taupe
-
Fabric - Pure Cotton by Linen
-
Collection Note - Intersections brings the earthy tactility of cotton-by-linen weaves into dialogue with the language of Banarasi craftsmanship. Stripes, checks, and floral accents emerge with a softened edge, the natural diffusion of linen’s texture tempering the precision of the master weaver’s hand. Tension is finely calibrated to the fibre’s inelastic nature, reed settings adapted to maintain clean patterning, and zari with meenakari is worked in the slow, exacting kadhua technique. Each saree is a study in intersections: of fibre and form, restraint and ornament, personality and pattern.
