RAATIR JONAK(HANDLOOM COTTON SAREE)

STORY:

Would you reserve “true intimacy” for later or is it an accumulation of experiences of each encounter. That is the question she asked each of her suitors. She believed her vulnerability was also a part of herself, that needed to connect with her counterpart. And that meant to be able to first acknowledge the parts of herself that she was usually hesitant to reveal, and then unabashedly putting them on the table with the expectation that somehow in all the global connection between humans, her suitor would connect to her seemingly human feelings. For her, dating was never about finding a partner, it was about finding that connection at any level. Only that connect would help her navigate that undefined territory marked with texts that go unanswered for three days or late-Friday-night follow-ups littered with apologies.

This beautiful shibori saree has all our hearts.

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 Turmeric, Lac and Haritaki.
