Patola - Rani Pink Base

A Manekchowk Heirloom in Rani Pink

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 resplendent Rajkot Patola saree is woven in the celebrated Manekchowk design, in an all over pure Rani Pink colour combination, crafted in pure 8-ply mulberry silk. Rendered through the exacting semi double ikat handloom technique, it unfolds in a dense lattice of interlocking diamonds and rosette medallions across a vivid Rani Pink field, edged with a luminous gold-orange zari border and pallu that catches the light with every fold.

Rows of rosette medallions and heart-shaped motifs interlock across the body in the rhythmic Manekchowk pattern, bordered by a botanical band of stylised blossoms in deep purple and pink. The pallu carries the same floral border above bands of shimmering gold zari and fine pink pinstripes, finished with a fringe of rich magenta silk tassels. Each motif takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the yarns before weaving, a semi double 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.
