A Nari Kunjar heirloom, woven in red and gold. Handloom Rajkot Patola from Gujarat.

A Nari Kunjar Heirloom in Red, Maroon 

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 Rajkot Patola saree is woven in the traditional Nari Kunjar design, in a rich red, maroon colour combination, crafted in pure handwoven Patola silk. Rendered through the pure single ikat handloom technique, it unfolds in a dense floral diamond trellis in mustard gold and deep maroon-red across the body, bordered by rows of white elephants and olive-green birds within red compartments, and finished with a radiant orange-gold zari pallu.

A fine lattice of floral diamonds in mustard gold, maroon and pink covers the body in the dense, jewel-like rhythm of the Nari Kunjar tradition. The border unfolds in alternating rows of pale elephants and olive-green birds set within red compartments, framed by a pink guard border of dotted diamonds, before opening into a broad, radiant orange-gold zari band. Each figure and floret takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the weft yarns before weaving, a pure single ikat technique that demands exceptional precision to bring every motif into crisp focus on the loom. The saree is finished with a fringe of hand-tied deep red silk tassels, strung along a delicate crocheted edge.

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.
