Patola - Blue with Red

A Single-Ikkat Floral Vine Patola in All Over Blue

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 unfolds in the traditional Figure design, in an all over royal blue colour combination, handwoven in pure single-ikkat mulberry silk. Patterned across a deep blue ground with a winding floral vine, full-bloom lotus-like blossoms in lilac, blush-pink and ivory unfurl along the branches, while slender birds in magenta and teal perch amid the leaves, with small gold accents scattered throughout.

A meandering vine carries lilac and blush blossoms across the blue field, its branches alighted by magenta and teal birds and tipped with gold leaf accents. The border is patterned in a rhythmic band of floral diamonds and hanging blossoms in maroon, mustard and olive on a deep maroon-olive ground. The pallu carries the same rich maroon ground layered with rows of floral medallions in coral, olive and pink, closing into a luminous gold-orange zari stripe and fine white pinstripes, finished with a fringe of rich red silk tassels. Each motif takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the weft yarns before weaving, a single-ikkat technique that demands patience, precision and skill from the artisan.

SILK MARK CERTIFIED

Color - An all over royal blue colour combination, patterned in lilac, blush-pink, magenta, teal and gold, with a rich maroon-olive border and pallu finished with a luminous gold-orange zari stripe.

Technique - The traditional single-ikkat Patola weave, in which the weft yarns are resist-dyed to the pattern before weaving and painstakingly aligned by hand on the loom, an exacting technique that brings the floral vine and birds of the Figure design to life with characteristic clarity and depth.

Fabric - Luxurious handwoven pure mulberry silk, with the beautiful character and subtle variations unique to an authentic handloom weave.

Craft - A handwoven Patola masterpiece in the Figure design, where lotus-like blossoms and perched birds trail along a winding vine across an all over blue field, framed by floral diamond borders and a radiant golden pallu, edged with hand-tied silk tassels.

Blouse - An unstitched blouse piece in the same fabric as the saree is included.

The Artful Finish - Ready to wear, with fall neatly done. The pallu is completed with hand-knotted netted silk tassels, adding a graceful final flourish.

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.
