Story  

Her love is fluid.

It flows like a river, nurturing life on its way. She blows kisses in the air, hugs the mighty old tree by her balcony, and concocts a piping hot cup of tea for her beloved. She does it all¦ with all her heart!

This is a stunning hand-crafted batik saree in handloom mulberry silk, with beautiful brown hues.

Description

Batik is a wax-based resist-dying technique that is said to have originated in Java, Indonesia. To make a batik, hot wax is applied to selected areas of the design to create blocks. The cloth is then dipped in dye. The parts of the design covered in wax resist the dye and retain their original colour. This process is repeated several times to create elaborate and vibrant designs.

Batik is a very labour-intensive process. Since the wax is applied by hand by our artisans and the dying process does not occur in very controlled environments, there are always slight variations in the colour and design owing to the climate, temperature and other external factors.

For this collection, Batik has been created on a canvas of handwoven mulberry silk, which is lightweight, easy to drape and lends an effortless elegance to the wearer. These sarees have been crafted by Suta's artisans in West Bengal.
