AMARA(ASSAM HANDLOOM SAREE)

STORY:

Her little hand of 6 years, in mine, more than never, always used to take me back 5 years ago to a picture on her mother’s wall, of that of a squishy little munchkin with a face of serenity, her mother’s. And never did we realise that a chance meeting at the café followed by a cup of coffee at her mother’s place would sow the seeds for the three of us to eventually end up spending our lives together, that picture that lies now on my office table, her small hand growing every moment as we cross that familiar street to the same café, from a baby to a fully walkable toddler.
We called her Amara.

DESCRIPTION:

Handloom cotton fabric is woven using hand operated looms. The warp (length) and weft (width) are two sets of interlacing yarns woven by weavers on a mechanised loom that do not use electricity. Loom fabric as a result becomes soft, durable and provides more comfort in comparison to machine-made fabric. Loom fabric that is woven with love by someone, definitely gives you a unique feel and 

Handloom cotton is more breathable and therefore, feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. Also, colour penetration in handloom cotton is more, thus making it more easier fabric for dyeing. Due to better absorbance of colour, handloom cotton looks more splendid than machine-made. Most importantly, human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and gives the fabrics greater value.

A labour intensive skill, the art of handweaving takes 20-25 days for a saree to be handwoven. Supporting handloom fabric supports our ancient heritage of rich weaving and encourages the weavers to continue practicing this precious art-form.

Dye description:

The fabric is dyed using tye and dye technique with colour extracted from Indigo and Turmeric.
