A royal purple procession of golden elephants and green parrots, closing in a glow of gold. Handloom Patola from Gujarat.

A Figure Patola in All Over Purple

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 deep purple colour combination, handwoven in pure mulberry silk. Patterned across a rich purple ground with an interlocking lattice of ivory-outlined medallions, each cell encloses a procession of elephants and parrots rendered in gold, teal and green, alongside spinning wheel-flower medallions in teal and sprays of blossoms in coral and mustard.

Rows of caparisoned gold elephants and perched green parrots alternate within the ivory-latticed medallions, framed by teal wheel-flowers and delicate floral sprigs in coral and mustard. The border is patterned in a rhythmic band of blossoms set within a chevron trellis, worked in pink, olive and gold on a deep maroon ground. The pallu carries the same deep 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 yarns before weaving, a 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.

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

Note on Handmade BeautyNo 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.
