Patola - Green with Red

A Navratna Patola in Red and Bottle Green

Step into the world of Patola, where every thread is dyed before it is woven, and the pattern lives inside the yarn itself long before it ever touches the loom.

This exquisite Patola saree is woven in the celebrated Navratna design, a red with bottle green colour combination, rendered through the pure Single Ikat handloom technique. The bottle-green field is patterned with a dense lattice of nine-gem diamonds in crimson, pink, gold and ivory, framed by a vivid red border alive with a lattice of hearts and diamonds in maroon, pink and gold.

Rows of interlocking diamonds unfold across the bottle-green body in the signature Navratna rhythm, each facet catching a different hue of crimson, pink and gold. The red border is patterned with a lattice of hearts and diamonds, while the pallu deepens into a rich maroon ground, layered with bands of floral diamonds, a luminous gold-orange zari stripe, and fine gold pinstripes, finished with a fringe of deep maroon silk tassels. Each motif takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the weft yarns before weaving, a Single Ikat technique that demands exceptional patience, precision and skill from the artisan.

Preserving Your Heritage - To honor the artistry of your Patola, cradle it in soft cotton or breathable muslin, ensuring it is refolded every few months to keep the silk supple and free of permanent creases. Guard this treasure from the reach of perfumes, dampness, and the harsh glare of direct sun. Professional dry cleaning is advised to maintain the ethereal luster of the zari and the integrity of the silk. In every thread of Patola, a legacy of craft is preserved.

A Note on Handmade Beauty

No two handcrafted sarees are ever exactly alike. Subtle variations in colour, texture, and finish are part of their charm, the quiet signature of the hands that created them. Colors and textures may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography, screen settings, and other viewing conditions.

Every motif tells a story. Every thread carries the artisan's touch. And when you drape it, that story becomes yours.
