  • Patan patola saris range from $1,500 to $8,500. Instead of designs being embroidered onto the textile, Patan patola requires them to be dyed onto the silk threads themselves. Both horizontal and vertical threads are dyed, then cross-woven to reveal the design. The most complex designs can take one and a half years of manual work to complete.

    I don't wear sarees but my mother and sister do. Especially my mother has some classic pieces of Indian handlooms - from Silk Patola to Banarasi brocade, now incredibly difficult to find. The craftsmanship on those sarees, I always maintain, is pure art and the craft difficult to replicate. We have tried out best to preserve those sarees and yet a pure banarasi saree with real zari is falling apart. It is truly priceless and breaks my heart.

      I had a skirt made with pieces of antique saris. The weight of the silk caused the top piece to tear & fray. I only got to wear it twice & it fell completely apart. I kept it it, because the fabrics are absolutely gorgeous. But it lives in a basket & I can't actually use it.

    When she said “imported” dyes like indigo, it broken my heart a little. Indigo farming was a big part of the Bengal famine during British rule. Maybe it’s time to grow India’s own on Indian terms?

    • @sangycappu
      @sangycappu 9 месяцев назад +3

      I found the fabrics. That’s a lot different from Patan ikat. Patan ikat is a lot more complex using lots of mixed intricate patterns and being a saree, there is a huge border with multicolored big patterns, which makes the whole process even more complicated. The Mexican tie and dye is a classical tie and dye which is not as intricate as Patan. Hence its not the same.

      The ikat embodying can be found in the American continent (originally made by the aboriginals),central Asia, India,Indonesia & Japan but only in India,Bali & Japan double ikat (both weft & warp) can be found.Out of double ikat embroidery Patan Potola is the hardest.It's truly remarkable achievement in the world of craftsmanship.

    For the work that goes into it, I’m surprised that it only costs $8,000! Chanel costs more and less goes into it.

      @@firstofawll that’s WORSE! I’d pay it to wear it once where no one would tell the difference and I’d look a fool for wearing a sari as a white woman.

    There is a similar type of saree weaving found in Andhra called Ikkat! These options are great because they can be worn on either side (no front or back). Traditional Zari is also made from pure gold or silver

      I think the weaving technique is called ikat. A comment above says ikat is done in 3 states, Gujarat, Odisha, Andhra.

    • @nidhi2693
      @nidhi2693 Год назад

      i think they must be payed enough to survive. otherwise no one would wait a whole year to make one piece of garment. plus, the craft is a family secret so they probably have a limited labor force to help as well.
