Pathani Saree - Cotton
Pathani Saree - Cotton
Radha Krishna Threadwork Paithani Saree - Cotton. Sourced from the weavers form of Paithan in Aurangabad, Maharastra. Handwoven
One paithani saree takes roughly 8 to 10 days to complete. What makes a real Paithani saree unique is the weaving method, the ornate designs, and its splendid latticework of gold and silver thread. This saree is apart from other because of its proprietary weaving technique called the “pallav.” The method involves weaving two colored threads, producing a trademark kaleidoscope effect. Artisans manage the entire process by hand, from the dyeing of the yarn to the actual weaving. They use handlooms to weave the saree’s main section. The pallav, with its distinct borders, is similar to tapestry weaving, one of the world’s most ancient weaving techniques.
