Waves of magenta and teal, woven by hand. Handloom Rajkot Patola from Gujarat.

A Lahariya Figure Design Heirloom in Magenta and Teal

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 Lahariya weave with figure motifs, in a rich magenta-purple and teal colour combination, crafted in pure handwoven Patola silk. Rendered through the pure single ikat handloom technique, it unfolds in undulating wave-like bands across a magenta-purple field, each compartment enclosing a white elephant, a golden bird, or a teal butterfly, bordered by a rich red trellis of heart and diamond motifs and a radiant orange-gold zari pallu.

Rippling Lahariya bands in teal and green weave across the magenta-purple body, enclosing white elephants, golden birds and teal butterflies within their wave-like curves, scattered with small dotted stars. The border deepens into red, patterned with interlocking hearts and diamonds in olive, cream and pink, while the pallu carries a band of small arched floral panels before opening into a broad, radiant orange-gold zari band. Each figure and wave takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the weft yarns before weaving, a pure single ikat technique that calls for exceptional precision to bring every curving line and figure into crisp focus on the loom. The saree is finished with a fringe of hand-tied deep maroon 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.
