Saarika Dupatta

On a visit to the banks of the river Nila, we saw a group of parrots flying over, across the river to Kuthampully. That sight was mesmerising! We couldn't resist, but to attempt to ingrain that colour into our Dupatta, just for you! Inspired by the sights around the weavers village, we have added the mango design in green on the Dupatta. We are celebrating the nature around the weavers village through this "Saarika" series.   Story of Weaving: The handloom fabric is a type of fabric that is woven using hand operated looms. Two sets of interlacing yarns, the warp (length) and weft (width), are woven on a loom hand-operated by weavers. These looms do not use electricity. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and renders the fabrics more value. The resultant fabric is softer, more durable and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. The dyeing process also becomes easier for handloom cotton as the colour penetration is substantially more. Hues are absorbed better thus look resplendent on handloom cotton. The art of hand weaving is labour intensive and takes a longer time. But, the beauty it adds to the fabric is priceless. Choosing handloom cotton supports the rich weaving heritage of India and lets the weavers carry on the precious art-form to the future generations as well.

Thechi Dupatta

“Thechi” flowers (Ixora flowers) adorn the walkway to our home; the bed of bright red flowers on either side of the walkway is an inviting sight. The beauty of ‘Thechi flower’ inspires us to add those bright red lines to the Dupatta. “Thechi” flowers are offered  during the worship of Goddess (Devi and Bhadrakali). We associate the strength of female deity to this piece of ethereal beauty. Let this piece of handloom make you stronger from inside and help you create a bright new world!   Story of Weaving: The handloom fabric is a type of fabric that is woven using hand operated looms.

Varnam Dupatta

Some bold experiment with colours, that is how we would like to express the weave of this Dupatta. We want you to feel the magic we experienced looking at the stack of yarns in different colours, nicely arranged, at our weavers place. Colour schemes which we may not usually imagine,  but, sometimes it just gets presented before you, in all its glory. And so, here is a unique piece!   Story of Weaving: The handloom fabric is a type of fabric that is woven using hand operated looms.
