Story

A little snow bunting dreamed of flowers growing from within the snow. Snowdrops, she sang to herself, had grown across the valley covered in layers of the magical white that the Arctic lands thrive upon. Her soft voice dreamily echoed alone through the clear stretches until one day in May, snowdrops began growing out of nowhere.

This is an off-white coloured, handloom cotton, kimono sleeved overlay criss cross angrakha dress with tie ups and beautiful Herringbone hand embroidery accents.

Description

Handloom cotton 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 mechanised loom 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 and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and is perfect for layering in winters.

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.

The Herringbone hand-embroidery on the overlay garment is done by a group of beautiful women artisans at Suta. This dress has an easy-fit that allows space for freedom of movement, breathability and flow. This can be styled separately as well as part of an ensemble.
